The European Union released Friday its updated list of terrorist entities removing three groups and adding one. <\/p>\n
The EU removed three Italian groups, Nuclei Territoriali Antimperialisti (Anti-Imperialist Territorial Units); Nuclei di Iniziativa Proletaria Rivoluzionaria (Unit for Revolutinonary Proletarian Initiative); Nuclei di Iniziativa Proletaria (Units for Proletarian Initiative) and added the Greek group Epanastatikos Agonas (Revolutionary Struggle). <\/p>\n
58 persons and 48 groups are included in the new EU blacklist. <\/p>\n
The Iranian terror group MKO remains on the updated list. <\/p>\n
The European Court of Justice last December annulled the decision by the EU to put the MKO on the terror register in 2002. <\/p>\n
Since then the group was trying to propagate that it will be removed from the EU terror list. <\/p>\n
The court ruling, however, was related to procedural matters rather than the decision itself. <\/p>\n
An EU statement said improvements have been agreed regarding the listing and de-listing procedures concerning those on the EU terrorist list, in the light of the court ruling in the MKO case. <\/p>\n
"In particular, a statement of reasons is now provided for each person or entity subject to an asset freeze and the persons and entities concerned are informed of the possibility to submit a request , together with supporting documentation, that the decision to include them on the list should be reconsidered." <\/p>\n
"New procedures have also been agreed concerning notification, the handling of proposals for listing and of requests for de-listing, and the review of the list," it noted. <\/p>\n
"A new working party will be charged with examining proposals for listings and de-listings and with preparing the regular review of the list by the Council." <\/p>\n
The EU first adopted restrictive measures against persons and entities involved in terrorism in December 2001, in the wake of the terrorist attacks on 11 September that year. <\/p>\n
Since then the lists of those subject to the restrictive measures have been reviewed on a regular basis. <\/p>\n
The parties concerned will be informed via a "letter of notification" of the specific information that forms the basis for the EU decision. <\/p>\n
The parties concerned may challenge the Council’s decision before the EU Court of Justice, said the EU statement. <\/p>\n
