Financial Sanctions: International Criminal Tribunal for the
former Yugoslavia
25 April 2005
With the publication of Council Regulation (EC) No 1763/2004 in the Official Journal of the European Union (O.J. L315, p.14) on 14 October 2004, the Council of the European Union introduced financial sanctions against various persons who have been indicted by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY). All such persons covered by the freezing of funds and economic resources under that Regulation were listed in Annex I of that Regulation. The list of targeted persons in Annex I was subsequently replaced by the Annex to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1965/2004 of 16 November 2004 and amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2233/2004 of 24 December 2004 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 295/2005 of 23 February 2005.
With the publication of Commission Regulation(EC) No 607/2005 in the Official Journal of the European Union (O.J. L100, p.17) on 20 April 2005 and the Corrigendum to that Regulation on 23 April 2005 (O.J. L104, p.46), the Commission of the European Communities has again amended Annex I.
The Bank of England, on behalf of Her Majesty’s Treasury, therefore announces that with effect from 20 April 2005 all funds or economic resources belonging to the persons listed in Annex I to Council Regulation (EC) No 1763/2004, as amended, 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 Corrigendum to the Regulation, previous Regulations 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.
