Exchange Controls<br />

to comply with United Nations Resolutions have caused freeze orders on assets of certain legal and natural<br />

persons designated in such regulations. Currently, these European Union regulations relate to persons of or in<br />

Myanmar (Burma), Côte d’Ivoire, the Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaire), Eritrea, Guinea, Iran, Iraq, Liberia,<br />

Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Sudan and Zimbabwe, as well as persons associated with terrorism, the Taliban,<br />

Slobodan Milosevic, the deceased former president of Serbia and Yugoslavia, and other persons indicted by<br />

the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, and President Alexander Lukashenko and certain<br />

other officials of Belarus and Tunisia.<br />

In addition, Regulation (EU) No. 961/<strong>20</strong>10 of October 25, <strong>20</strong>10 on restrictive measures against Iran requires<br />
