‘EU to delist 11 IRISL managers’

An Iranian official says a European Union court ruling to remove the EU sanctions against 11 managers of the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines (IRISL) has been finalized.

According to Press TV, Alaeddin Sadat Rasoul, the head of the IRISL legal department, on Friday said “The ruling for removal of the names of 11 managers of the company (IRISL) from the list of EU sanctions has been finalized.”
He also commented on the September 2013 ruling by the European Court of Justice, adding, “The ruling has been finalized as the legal respite expired and no appeal was lodged against the ruling.”
The IRISL official stated the 11 individuals are entitled to claim compensation for all the material and moral damages arising from the baseless allegations.
In 2011, the EU targeted over 30 IRISL holding companies as part of the US-led sanctions against the Islamic Republic over the false claim that the Iranian nuclear energy program had non-civilian aspects.
