Judgment_paragraph 75 · Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines and Others v Council of the European Union (T-489/10)

75In that regard, when the funds of an entity identified as providing support for nuclear proliferation are frozen, there is a not insignificant danger that that entity may exert pressure on the entities it owns or controls or which act on its behalf, in order to circumvent the effect of the measures applying to it. That being so, the freezing of the funds of entities owned or controlled by an entity identified as providing support for nuclear proliferation or acting on its behalf is necessary and appropriate in order to ensure the effectiveness of the measures adopted vis-à-vis that entity and to ensure that those measures are not circumvented (see, by analogy, Joined Cases T-246/08 and T-332/08 Melli Bank v Council [2009] ECR II-2629, paragraph 103).
