51A decision to include an entity on a list of persons and entities whose assets are to be frozen does not provide that entity with precise assurances that the Council does not have any reason concerning that entity other than what is in the statement of reasons for that decision or any other evidence capable of justifying the imposition of restrictive measures on it. In addition, as the General Court rightly held in paragraph 59 of the judgment under appeal, the judgment of 3 July 2014, National Iranian Tanker Company v Council (T‑565/12, EU:T:2014:608), could not give rise to a legitimate expectation on the part of NITC that the Council, while abiding by that judgment, would not be able to take a re-listing decision in the future. Moreover, the General Court stated in paragraph 77 of that judgment that the fact that NITC’s name was once again included on lists of persons and entities whose assets are to be frozen could not be ruled out, and that the Council had the possibility of re-listing its name on the basis of reasons substantiated to the requisite legal standard.
