(2)

On 16 July 2009, the Sanctions Committee determined that certain goods should be subject to these prohibitions. Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 329/2007 should therefore be supplemented.

(4)

The Sanctions Committee determined on 16 July 2009 that certain natural and legal persons, entities or bodies should be subject to the freezing of funds and economic resources.

(5)

Annex IV should therefore be amended accordingly.

(6)

In order to ensure that the measures provided for in this Regulation are effective, this Regulation should enter into force immediately,
