(2)  Those measures fall within the scope of the Treaty estab- lishing the European Community and, therefore, notably with a view to ensuring their uniform application by economic operators in all Member States, Community legislation is necessary in order to implement them as far as the Community is concerned. (3)  Regulation (EC) No 423/2007 (}) imposed certain restrictive measures against Iran, in line with Common Position 2007/140/CESP prior to its amendment. It is appropriate, in order to take account of Common Position 2007/246/CESP, to insert new prohibitions in that Regulation. It should therefore be amended accordingly. ] L 106, 24.4.2007, p. 67.
