The European Union will send letters to groups and individuals on its terror register to explain why they are listed, EU diplomats said Friday.<\/p>\n

The decision, to be adopted Monday by EU foreign ministers, was made in the wake of a ruling last year by Europe’s second-highest court annulling a freeze on the assets of the main Iranian opposition group in exile.<\/p>\n

The Court of First Instance ruled that the EU had not respected the right to a fair hearing of the People’s Mujahedeen of Iran (OMPI), when it ordered the asset freeze in May 2002.<\/p>\n

One diplomat, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that the EU’s reasoning will be posted in its official journal for the groups and individuals for whom it has no address.<\/p>\n

Those listed have 30 days "to present their arguments" against the decision.<\/p>\n

The terror register lists more than 50 organisations and individuals, including the armed Basque separatist group ETA, Sri Lanka’s Tamil Tigers and the Islamist group Hamas.<\/p>\n

It is supposed to be revised every six months but this has not happened because of uncertainty caused by the court ruling.<\/p>\n

An asset freeze is imposed on those who figure on the list.<\/p>\n

The EU has already written to OMPI, recalling "the organisation’s past, notably the attacks that it has been responsible for", the diplomat said.<\/p>\n
