March 27, 2013 – EU Implementing Regulation (EU) No 298/2013 of 27 March 2013 amending Regulation (EC) No 314/2004 concerning certain restrictive measures in respect of Zimbabwe
February 19, 2013 – EU Implementing Regulation (EU) No 145/2013 of Feb 19, 2013 – This notice is issued in respect of the restrictive measures taken by the Council of the European Union in respect of Zimbabwe. Amending Council Regulation (EC) No 314/2004 concerning certain restrictive measures in respect of Zimbabwe. Deletion of listed individuals & entities.
July 23, 2012 – Council conclusions on Zimbabwe
- The EU is encouraged by the progress that is being made in implementing the Global Political Agreement (GPA) by the Government of National Unity (GNU) in Zimbabwe. It welcomes the constructive dialogue that has been established in the process of EU reengagement with all parties in the GNU, including through the meeting in May this year between High Representative Ashton and the members of the Zimbabwe Ministerial Reengagement Committee. The EU welcomes the continued commitment of SADC to support the implementation of the GPA, as expressed at the recent extraordinary SADC Summit in Luanda.
- The steps taken by the GNU to improve the freedom and prosperity of the Zimbabwean people justify the immediate suspension of the measures hitherto applied under Article 96 of the Cotonou Agreement. This will allow the EU to work directly with the GNU to develop new assistance programmes for the benefit of the people of Zimbabwe that would come on stream under the next European Development Fund.
- The EU welcomes the recent visit to Zimbabwe of the UN HCHR at the invitation of the GNU. It recognises the improvement that has been achieved in the human rights situation although significant areas of concern remain.
- As indicated in February this year and consistent with its incremental approach, the EU will further adjust its policy to recognise progress as it is made by the Zimbabwean parties along the SADC roadmap. The EU agrees that a peaceful and credible constitutional referendum would represent an important milestone in the preparation of democratic elections that would justify a suspension of the majority of all EU targeted restrictive measures against individuals and entities.
- The EU reaffirms its partnership with the people of Zimbabwe. It calls on all parties to seize the momentum to complete implementation of the GPA in preparation for elections next year.

February 17, 2011 – Declaration by the High Representative, Catherine Ashton, on behalf of the European Union on Zimbabwe
“The European Union is committed to supporting the peaceful progress and democratic development of the people of Zimbabwe. It reaffirms its support for the full implementation of the Global Political Agreement (GPA) which allowed the creation of the Government of National Unity. It also welcomes progress made towards the creation of a conducive environment for the holding of free, fair, peaceful and transparent elections through the development of the Road Map sponsored by SADC. It pays tribute to the efforts of SADC and the South African Facilitator in accompanying the Zimbabwean Government along that road.
In recognition of these developments and to encourage further progress in the implementation of the GPA, the EU has today decided to remove 51 individuals and 20 entities from the visa ban and the asset freeze list with immediate effect. 112 individuals and 11 entities who are still considered to be involved in or associated with policies and activities that undermine human rights, democracy and the rule of law will remain subject to the measures.

On September 4, 2008, the Special Economic Measures (Zimbabwe) Regulations (SOR/2008-248) came into force in order to respond to the gravity of the situation in Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe has been in serious decline for a decade; however, events since March 2008, including a marked escalation in human rights violations and violence directed at the political opposition, a stolen election, the denial of a peaceful democratic transition and a worsening humanitarian situation have taken the crisis to a new level.
Subject to certain exceptions, the measures implemented by the Regulations include:
- a ban on the export of arms and related material to Zimbabwe or to any person in Zimbabwe;
- a prohibition on the transport of arms and related material to Zimbabwe aboard a Canadian vessel or aircraft;
- a prohibition on the provision of technical or financial assistance or services relating to arms and related material, including the provision, transfer or communication of technical data, to Zimbabwe or any person in Zimbabwe;
- requirement on any person in Canada and Canadian outside of Canada to freeze the assets of listed Zimbabwean persons and entities;
- a prohibition on Zimbabwean aircraft from flying over or landing in Canada.
Canada also has certain policy measures in place with regard to Zimbabwe. More information on these measures can be found at the following link: Canada-Zimbabwe Relations.
Under the Regulations, the Governor in Council may approve and list on a schedule to the Regulations the names of persons for which there are reasonable grounds to believe that they are connected with the Government of Zimbabwe or persons or entities engaged in activities that seriously undermine democracy, respect for human rights and the rule of law in Zimbabwe. The Regulations provide a review mechanism to remove names from the schedule upon receipt of a petition from a designated person. Follow this link for an administrative list of designated persons subject to the assets freeze pursuant to section 6 of the Regulations.
The Special Economic Measures (Zimbabwe) Permit Authorization Order (SOR/2008-249), made pursuant to subsection 4(4) of the Special Economic Measures Act authorizes the Minister of Foreign Affairs to issue to any person in Canada or any Canadian outside Canada a permit to carry out a specified activity or transaction, or any class of activity or transaction, that is restricted or prohibited pursuant to the Regulations.
