THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 314/2004 of 19 February 2004 concerning certain restrictive measures in respect of Zimbabwe (1), and in particular Article 11(b) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 314/2004 lists the persons covered by the freezing of funds and economic resources under that Regulation. Annex II of Regulation (EC) No 314/2004 lists the competent authorities to which specific functions relating to the implementation of that Regulation are attributed.

(2) Council Decision 2011/101/CFSP of 15 February 2011 (2) identifies the natural and legal persons to whom restrictions are to apply as provided for in Article 5 of that Decision, and Regulation (EC) No 314/2004 gives effect to that Decision to the extent that action at Union level is required. Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 314/2004 should, therefore, be amended to ensure consistency with this Council Decision.
