Context

In 2012 the European Union imposed restrictive measures, including asset freezes, directed against certain persons threatening the peace, security or stability of the Republic of Guinea-Bissau. This concerns in particular those who played a leading role in the mutiny of 1 April 2010 and the coup d’etat of 12 April 2012, and whose actions continue to be aimed at undermining the rule of law and the primacy of civilian power, and furthering instability in the country.
