57As the Advocate General pointed out in point 60 of her Opinion, little more than 8 months elapsed between the date of the last act of terrorism relied upon by the Council in its various statements of reasons, namely 16 October 2006, and the first act at issue in the main proceedings, namely Decision 2007/445 adopted on 28 June 2007. In addition, less than 2 years separate that first act and the last act at issue in the main proceedings, namely Regulation No 501/2009 adopted on 15 June 2009. The acts of terrorism in 2006 in conjunction with the national decisions of the competent UK authorities in 2001 could not therefore be regarded as facts or material too far apart in time to justify the retention, by the adoption of the acts at issue in the main proceedings, of the inclusion of the LTTE on the list provided for in Article 2(3) of Regulation No 2580/2001.
