Resolution 1267 (1999) provides for certain exemptions to the restrictions imposed on the condition of prior approval of the said Committee. The approval of the said Committee should be obtained through the competent national authorities of the Member States, whose names and addresses should, therefore, be made available and annexed to this Regula- tion. For reasons of expediency, the Commission should be empowered to supplement and/or amend the Annexes to this Regulation on the basis of pertinent notifications from the said Committee. The competent authorities of the Member States should, where necessary, be empowered to ensure compliance with this Regulation. Violations of the provisions of this Regulation should be penalised and Member States should impose appropriate penalties to that effect. The Security Council calls for the measures to be applied notwithstanding any rights conferred or obligations imposed by any international agreement signed or any contract entered into or any licence or permit granted before the entry into force of the relevant paragraphs of Resolution 1267 (1999) enter into force.
