Re point 2.(b) transport_7

-

It is established that this paragraph covers two categories:

shipments of goods under embargo from a Member State and land transit through a Member State from a third country;

the transport of goods under embargo from a third country to Iran not passing through Member States.

It became evident that this second category gives rise to quite intricate problems; the measures likely to be taken in this area should be analysed on the basis of a number of criteria such as: country of registration of the means of transport, nationality of the owner or of the person chartering him, the relevant provisions laid down by international convention.

However, the exchange of views showed that implementing these measures should not give rise to any problems at Community level even if the measures taken by the various Member States were not necessarily identical.
