THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EU) No 269/2014 of 17 March 2014 concerning restrictive measures in respect of actions undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine 1, and in particular Article 14(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal of the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy,
Whereas:
- (1) On 17 March 2014, the Council adopted Regulation (EU) No 269/2014.
- (2) As part of the Union's non-recognition policy of the illegal annexation of Crimea and Sevastopol, the supply of key equipment for the creation, acquisition or development of infrastructure projects in Crimea and Sevastopol in important sectors, including energy, has been prohibited by the Council.
- (3) Gas turbines, which are a substantial element in the development of new power plants in Crimea, have been supplied from Russia in breach of the contractual provisions for the original sale of the turbines from a company established in the Union to Russia.
- (4) The purpose of those power plants is to establish an independent power supply for Crimea and Sevastopol, thus supporting their separation from Ukraine and undermining the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine. Moreover, this action undermines the Union's non-recognition policy of the illegal annexation of Crimea and Sevastopol.
- (5) In view of the above, additional persons, entities and bodies should be added to the list of persons, entities and bodies subject to restrictive measures as set out in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 269/2014.
- (6) Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 269/2014 should therefore be amended accordingly,
