		The changes to the 1st list (inside EU) are that seven members of ETA have been removed from the list of individuals (18 members of ETA remain on the list) and Great Islamic Warriors Front (IBDA-C) in Turkey have been added to the organisations
		The Council decided on 12 September - by written procedure - to update the European Union list of terrorist organisations and persons linked to terrorist activities, which was first adopted in December 2001 in the wake of the terrorist attacks on 11 September and last updated on 27 June 2003.

	EU division on "safe list" - Spectrezine 25th November 2004
		A meeting of the EU's Asylum Working Party on 17 September, however, received a report from the Dutch EU Presidency which concludes that the seven African countries (Benin, Botswana, Cape Verde, Ghana, Mali, Mauritius and Senegal) are all "safe countries of origin".
		The list must also be agreed unanimously by the Council, which directly represents the 25 member states, each of which has been asked to give its opinion on "safe countries", a definition arrived at on the basis of a set of standards covering democracy, the rule of law and human rights.
		By the EU's own criteria the seven African states on the proposed EU list cannot be seen as "safe" and this will be used as a basis for declaring asylum applications ‘unfounded’ or inadmissible.

	BBC NEWS \| World \| Africa \| Mugabe's wife on EU sanctions list
		The European Union (EU) imposed a travel ban and asset freeze on a number of the country's leaders before the Zimbabwean elections in March.
		The EU took the measures after the head of its elections observer team was expelled from the country in a row over election violence, but there has been criticism that the sanctions are not working.
		But EU diplomats argue that wider economic sanctions just are not an option - suspending aid, they say, would hurt exactly the people they are trying to protect.

		BRUSSELS EU foreign ministers on Monday called on the militant group Hamas to clarify its political intentions in an eventual Palestinian government, urging it to embrace peace efforts with Israel.
		Straw said the EU foreign ministers would likely adopt a wait-and-see approach Monday on whether to cut off aid to the Palestinian Authority — separate from the humanitarian aid that is funneled through U.N. relief agencies.
		Diplomats said EU foreign ministers on Monday were unlikely to drop the militant group from the EU's list of terrorist groups, a status that bans any official contact with Hamas.

	Court ruling forces rethink of EU terror list — EUbusiness - EU business, legal and financial news and ...
		A European court annulled Tuesday an EU decision to freeze the assets of the main Iranian opposition in exile, a move that will force the bloc to rethink the way it compiles its terror fllist.
		The EU's decision was based on measures implemented to respect a UN Security Council resolution drawn up in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks which demanded that countries crack down on terror funding.
		OMPI welcomed it as "a victory of justice" but the EU's top legal counsel said it was merely a "judicial victory of principle" based on a procedural problem and in no way exonerated the Iranian opposition group.

		The People's Mujahedin of Iran was founded in 1965 with the stated aim of replacing first the Shah's and then the Mullah's regime in Iran with a democratically elected government.

		Spain had the lowest number of people who considered life was getting worse (50 per cent) and its citizens were by far the most positive about the economic benefits of immigration.
		Last Friday Joaquín Almunia, the EU monetary affairs commissioner, upgraded his growth forecasts for Spain in 2007 from 3.4 per cent to 3.7 per cent, making it one of the bloc's most dynamic economies.

		But an EU official played down the impact of the new ruling, saying it was procedural, adding that the PKK would in any case remain fllisted because the EU was required to impose such a sanction to implement a U.N. resolution to ban the group.
		The EU official said that the EU was changing its procedures to respect the Court's Iran ruling, which said the EU had failed to give a fair hearing or adequate reasons, and would now inform individuals of the reasons behind their inclusion on the list.
		He said that when it added two new groups and nine persons to the list at the end of last month, the EU 'informed each person individually of the decision, of its motivation, and of their right to appeal.' The EU was going to do the same with the People's Mujahideen, he said.

		Gooch declined to comment on the contents of the list, but EU sources said textiles, steel and citrus fruit would be included.
		A Wall Street Journal report said EU retaliation would target goods from states that are politically sensitive for Bush, such as Florida, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and West Virginia, where Bush battled for his victory by a razor-thin margin in the 2000 election.

		Neither Kurdistan Freedom and Democracy Congress (KADEK) nor Revolutionary People’s Liberation Party/Front (DHKP-C) were listed on the list, a development that has annoyed Turkey as it sees both of the organisations as proponents of terrorism.
		The news channel also reported that the EU had justified its decision not to add KADEK to its list of terror groups by saying that the organisation had not engaged in terrorist activities since it was established to replace the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).

		As Norway is not a member of the EU, it does not take part in the internal assessments that lead to revisions of the EU list.

		The report calls on the EU to commit to hitting the 0.7% target by 2010 but also calls on donors to improve the quality of their aid, with the Greeks giving just one euro in fifteen to the poorest countries and 92% of Italian aid tied to Italian goods and services.
		The report calls on the EU to go further and work with the G7 towards 100% debt cancellation for the poorest countries that now pay $100 million a day in debt repayments.
