73However, according to case-law, detailed publication of the complaints put forward against the parties concerned might not only conflict with the overriding considerations of public interest related to the security of the European Union and its Member States, or the conduct of their international relations, but also jeopardise the legitimate interests of the persons and entities in question, in that it would be capable of causing serious damage to their reputation, and it must be found, exceptionally, that only the operative part of the decision and a general statement of reasons need appear in the version of the decision freezing funds published in the Official Journal, it being understood that the actual, specific statements of reasons for that decision must be formalised and brought to the knowledge of the parties concerned by any other appropriate means (see, to that effect and by analogy, Organisation des Modjahedines du peuple d’Iran v Council, paragraph 147, and Case T-86/11 Bamba v Council [2011] ECR II-2749, paragraph 53).
