72As regards the specific context of the entry of the applicant’s name in the lists annexed to the contested acts, the Court has consistently held that, in order correctly to discharge its obligation to give reasons for an act imposing restrictive measures, the Council must mention the elements of fact and law on which the legal justification of those measures depends and the considerations which have led it to take those measures (see, to that effect, Bank Melli Iran v Council, paragraph 81 and the case-law cited). It follows that, in principle, the statement of reasons for such an act must cover not only the legal conditions for applying restrictive measures, but also the actual and specific reasons why the Council considers, in the exercise of its broad discretion, that the person concerned should be subject to such measures (see, to that effect and by analogy, Case T-228/02 Organisation des Modjahedines du peuple d’Iran v Council [2006] ECR II-4665, paragraph 146; Fahas v Council, paragraph 53; and Case T‑15/11 Sina Bank v Council [2012] ECR, paragraph 68).
