(6)It is therefore justified to maintain the designation as listed persons of leading businesspersons under the criteria set out in Article 1(1), point (e), and Article 2(1), point (g), of Decision 2014/145/CFSP, unless claims regarding transfers of shares, resignations from functions or similar actions are supported by recent and reliable information that can reasonably be viewed as sufficient to consider that the situation of the listed persons concerned has changed in a relevant manner, thereby demonstrating that such persons no longer meet the relevant criteria. Such a change in situation could be, for example, that the persons concerned can no longer be considered to be important and influential in light, in particular, of their professional status, the importance of their economic activities, the extent of their capital holdings or their functions within one or more undertakings or one or more business associations in which they pursue those activities. The Council should also take into account, as appropriate, whether the person concerned has unambiguously condemned Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, which constitutes a manifest violation of the Charter of the United Nations, and actions and policies which undermine or threaten the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine.
