There are currently 13 persons and 22 groups and entities subject to the restrictive measures in force, which consist of the freezing of funds and other financial assets or economic resources in EU member states. It is also prohibited for EU operators to make funds and economic resources available to those listed. The EU Terrorist List, i.e. the sanctions regime set out in Common Position 2001/931/CFSP, is separate from the EU regime implementing UN Security Council resolutions 1267 (1999), 1989 (2011) and 2253 (2015) and targeting Al-Qaida and ISIL/Da'esh. The EU may also apply restrictive measures autonomously to ISIL/Da'esh and Al-Qaida and persons and entities associated with or supporting them. The EU Terrorist List is also separate from the sanctions framework adopted in January 2024, targeting those who support, facilitate or enable violent action by Hamas or the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
