106It should be observed, in the second place, as has been set out in paragraphs 56 and 94 above, that the Council established a rebuttable presumption that individuals belonging to the category of ‘leading businesspersons operating in Syria’ are linked with the Syrian regime. The names of individuals falling within that category are not listed if it is established that they are not, or are no longer, associated with the existing regime or do not exercise influence over it or do not pose a real risk of circumvention. It must be noted, as stated in paragraph 67 above, that the applicant has not produced any document to show that he was in any of those situations.
