Here’s a breakdown of the Council Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/817:
* **Essence:**
This regulation amends Council Regulation (EU) 2023/888, which concerns restrictive measures against individuals and entities destabilizing the Republic of Moldova. The new regulation updates the list of sanctioned individuals and entities by modifying information related to existing entries.
* **Structure and Main Provisions:**
The regulation itself is brief, consisting of two articles and an annex.
* **Article 1:** States that Annex I of Regulation (EU) 2023/888 is amended according to the changes detailed in the annex of this new regulation.
* **Article 2:** Specifies that the regulation comes into force the day after its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union and is binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
* **Annex:** This section contains the specific amendments to Annex I of Regulation (EU) 2023/888. It replaces entries for six natural persons (Ilan Shor, Marina Tauber, Arina Evgheni Corșicova, Dumitru Chitoroagă, Nelli Parutenco, and Mihail Vlah) and one legal entity (Evrazia). The replaced entries include updated identifying information, reasons for the sanctions, and the date of listing.
* **Main Provisions for Practical Use:**
The key aspect of this regulation is the updated list of sanctioned individuals and entities in the annex. The updated information includes the reasons for the restrictive measures, which are crucial for understanding the scope and implications of the sanctions. For example, the updated entries provide more detailed information about the individuals’ and entities’ involvement in actions undermining the Republic of Moldova’s stability, such as illegal financing, promoting Russian propaganda, and organizing violent protests.
