EU Council Updates North Korea Sanctions

The European Union Council removed one person from its North Korea sanctions regime and updated the alias for an entity in the same regime, the council said in a July 17 notice. The council removed sanctions from RI Pyong Chol and updated an alias for the Maritime Administrative Bureau, which “assisted in the evasion of” United Nations Security Council sanctions, “including by renaming and re-registering assets of designated entities and providing false documentation to vessels subject to” UN sanctions, the notice said.
