Type: Judgment

Authority: European Authorities: Euopean Union' Court of Justice

Date: 11/28/2013

Subject: The Court notes that if one of the reasons relied on by the Council in listing a person or entity is substantiated and constitutes in itself sufficient basis to support a decision on restrictive measures, the fact that the same cannot be said of other such reasons cannot justify the annulment of that decision. The Court considers that the Council was entitled to find that, on the basis of its role as the central purchasing body of the Iranian national oil company, Kala Naft was involved in the procurement of prohibited goods and technology. The Court held that, in light of the interpretation of the rules governing this area, that reason was in itself sufficient for Kala Naft to be entered on the lists of those whose funds were to be frozen. Consequently, the Court sets aside the judgment of the General Court and maintains Kala Naft’s entry in the lists.

Parties: Manufacturing Support & Procurement Kala Naft Co., Tehran
