to its Iranian sanctions list.

As a technical matter, Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 206/2013 amends Annex I of Council Regulation (EU) No 359/2011. The Regulation is the one that specifies Iranian sanctions, and the Annex lists the affected persons and organizations.

It is interesting to note that this is the first EU update in almost a year – the last one was on March 23, 2012.

I’ve also included a link to the UK Iranian sanctions regulations below.
