However, the EU disputed the ruling and kept the organization on a new version of its list. On December 22, 2007 the European Union published its official Journal in which it updated the Common Position 2001\/931\/CFSP on the application of specific measures to combat terrorism and repeated Common Position 2007\/448\/CFSP.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: &quot;Verdana&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-themecolor: text1\">But the move by MKO to challenge the EU and lodge an appeal against the EU&acirc;&euro;&trade;s decision seems to have encouraged other blacklisted persons to make a try. Reported by the International Herald Tribune, Yasin al-Qadi, head of the Saudi-based Muwafaq Foundation, is trying to appeal the freezing of his assets by the 27-nation bloc under a U.N. order filed after the Sept. 11. The US Treasury officials allege al-Qadi&#8217;s organization is an al-Qaida front used to funnel millions of dollars (euros) to the global terror organization. Al-Qadi was one of four plaintiffs whose case was dismissed by the EU court in 2005 after they were added to the EU&#8217;s terror blacklist.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: &quot;Verdana&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-themecolor: text1\">It is said that the EU&#8217;s high court has also recently overturned a decision to freeze the assets of an exiled Philippine rebel leader and the Netherlands-based Al-Aqsa foundation because they were not informed why their assets were frozen.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: &quot;Verdana&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-themecolor: text1\">Mojahedin.ws, January 18, 2008,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>the European Court of First Instance annulled an EU move to keep Iranian Mojahedin-e Khalq Organisation (MKO) on its terror blacklist, ruling it had not given the group a fair hearing or adequate reasons.
