concerning certain restrictive measures in respect of Lebanon
Article 1
For the purposes of this Regulation, the following definitions shall apply:
‘technical assistance’ means any technical support related to repairs, development, manufacture, assembly, testing, maintenance, or any other technical service, and may take forms such as instruction, advice, training, transmission of working knowledge or skills or consulting services; technical assistance shall include verbal forms of assistance;
‘territory of the Community’ means the territories of the Member States to which the Treaty is applicable, under the conditions laid down in the Treaty.
Article 2
It shall be prohibited:
to provide technical assistance related to military activities and to the provision, manufacture, maintenance and use of arms and related matériel of all types, including weapons and ammunition, military vehicles and equipment, paramilitary equipment, and spare parts for the aforementioned, directly or indirectly to any natural or legal person, entity or body in, or for use in, Lebanon;
to provide financing or financial assistance related to military activities, including in particular grants, loans and export credit insurance, for any sale, supply, transfer or export of arms and related matériel, or for any provision of related technical assistance, directly or indirectly to any natural or legal person, entity or body in, or for use in, Lebanon;
to participate, knowingly and intentionally, in activities, the object or effect of which is to circumvent the prohibitions referred to in points (a) or (b).
Article 3
By way of derogation from Article 2, the competent authorities in the Member States, as indicated in the websites listed in the Annex, may authorise, after prior written notification by the Member State concerned to the Government of Lebanon and UNIFIL, and under such conditions as they deem appropriate:
the provision to any natural or legal person, entity or body in Lebanon other than the armed forces of the Lebanese Republic or UNIFIL, of technical assistance, financing and financial assistance related to arms or related matériel which are either in or for use in Lebanon, provided that:
the services shall not be provided, directly or indirectly, to any militia for whose disarmament the UN Security Council has called in its Resolutions 1559 (2004) and 1680 (2006),
the authorisations are granted on a case-by-case basis, and
the Government of Lebanon or UNIFIL authorised in each case the provision to the person, entity or body concerned of the services concerned. If the Government of Lebanon or UNIFIL authorises a specific supply or transfer to a person, entity or body of specific arms or related matériel, that authorisation may be construed as authorising the provision to that person, entity or body of technical assistance related to the provision, manufacture, maintenance and use of the goods concerned;
the provision to the armed forces of the Lebanese Republic of technical assistance related to military activities and to arms or related matériel, and of financing and financial assistance related to military activities, unless the Government of Lebanon raises any objection within 14 days after the receipt of a notification.
By way of derogation from Article 2, the competent authorities in the Member States, as indicated in the websites listed in the Annex, may authorise, under such conditions as they deem appropriate:
the provision of technical assistance related to military activities and to arms or related matériel, provided that:
the goods to which the assistance relates are in use or will be used by UNIFIL in the performance of its mission, and
the services are provided to armed forces that are or will be part of UNIFIL;
the provision of financing and financial assistance related to military activities and to arms or related matériel, provided that:
the financing or financial assistance is provided to UNIFIL, to the armed forces of a State that provides troops to UNIFIL, or to a public authority in charge of procurement for the armed forces of such a State, and
the arms or related matériel are procured for the purpose of use by UNIFIL or by the armed forces of the State concerned assigned to UNIFIL.
Article 4
The Commission and Member States shall immediately inform each other of the measures taken under this Regulation and shall supply each other with any other relevant information at their disposal in connection with this Regulation, in particular information in respect of violation and enforcement problems and judgments handed down by national courts.
Article 5
The Commission shall be empowered to amend the Annex on the basis of information supplied by Member States.
Article 6

to any legal person, entity or body which is incorporated or constituted under the law of a Member State;
to any legal person, entity or body in respect of any business done in whole or in part within the Union.
