THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 29 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy,

Whereas:

(1) On 31 July 2015, the Council adopted Decision (CFSP) 2015/1333 [^ntr1-L_202602242EN.000101-E0001].

That Resolution further provided that, upon discovery during such inspections of items prohibited by the UN arms embargo on Libya, UN Member States are to seize and dispose of such items.

(3) Decision (CFSP) 2015/1333 was amended accordingly.

(4) The authorisation set out in UNSC Resolution 2292 (2016) applied until 25 May 2026.

(5) Further action by the Union is needed in order to implement certain measures.

(6) Decision (CFSP) 2015/1333 should therefore be amended accordingly,
