1. (U) During the November 17 General Affairs and External
Relations Council (GAERC),EU Member States adopted a Council
Decision and Regulation updating the list of persons and
entities in Iran to which targeted EU sanctions apply.
Member States have committed themselves to review this list
regularly, and at least every 12 months, to ensure that the
grounds for each individual designation remain valid.
2. (C//NF) Only one individual was added to the EU list, and
no individuals or entities were removed. The new designee is
Ali Akbar SALEHI, who heads the Atomic Energy Organisation of
Iran (AEOI). As anticipated (REF A, Para 2),his recently
retired predecessor, Reza AGHAZADEH, will remain designated,
since the EU deemed his knowledge and potential for
proliferation-related activities to be genuine threats. The
EU Council Secretariat recently told us that Member States
were taking a similar approach in the DPRK sanctions domain,
where individuals will be sanctioned for a specific role that
they play in a proliferation network or a specific slot that
they occupy in an organizational chart (REF B, Para 6).
