- Joint Council and Commission Declaration

Joint Council and Commission Declaration

The Council and the Commission underline that the decision to designate the Hezbollah Military

Wing under Common Position 2001/931/CFSP on the application of restrictive measures to combat

terrorism does not prevent the continuation of dialogue with all political parties in Lebanon. In

addition, the Council and the Commission agree that the decision does not affect legitimate

financial transfers to Lebanon and the delivery of assistance, including humanitarian assistance,

from the European Union and its Member States in Lebanon.

The Union remains fully committed to the stability of Lebanon.

As for all designations under Common Position 2001/931/CFSP, this decision will be reviewed on a

six-monthly basis.
