92In that, the wording of that provision is, moreover, perfectly consistent with the Council’s objectives. It is evident from the recitals in the preamble to Decision 2011/72 that that decision is intended to support the efforts of the Tunisian people to establish a ‘stable democracy’, while helping them to enjoy the ‘benefits of the sustainable development of their economy and society’. Such objectives, which are among those referred to in Article 21(2)(b) and (d) TEU, are designed to be achieved by an asset-freeze the scope of which is, as in this instance, restricted to those ‘responsible’ for misappropriation of ‘Tunisian State funds’ and their associates, that is to say, to the persons whose actions are liable to have jeopardised the proper functioning of Tunisian public institutions and bodies linked to them.
