16 November 2004

With the publication of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1965/2004 in the Official Journal of the European Union on 16 November (Ref L339, p.4), the Commission of the European Communities has amended the list of those subject to the financial sanctions applicable to various persons who have been indicted by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY). The list of targeted persons set out in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1965/2004 amends the list of targeted persons in Annex I to Council Regulation (EC) No 1763/2004.

The Bank of England, on behalf of Her Majesty’s Treasury, therefore announces that with effect from 16 November 2004 all funds or economic resources belonging to the persons listed in the Annex to Council Regulation (EC) No 1965/2004 must be frozen. No funds or economic resources are to be made available, directly or indirectly, to or for the benefit of the listed persons. Financial institutions and other bodies and persons in the UK must check whether they maintain any accounts or otherwise hold any funds for the individuals named and, if so, they should freeze the accounts and report the accounts or other funds and amounts frozen to the Bank of England.

Copies of this Commission Regulation, the previous Regulation and related Bank Notice’s regarding the financial sanctions regime against various persons who have been indicted by the ICTY are available from the Financial Sanctions pages.

The amendments made by the Commission of the European Communities, which take the form of 18 additions to the list of those persons subject to the ICTY financial sanctions regime and additional information in relation to the three individuals who were already subject to the ICTY financial sanctions regime, are set out below:
