The ongoing nuclear and ballistic missile-related activities of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) represent a serious threat to international peace and security. These activities undermine the global non-proliferation and disarmament regime of which the EU has been a steadfast supporter for decades.

In this context, the EU has implemented the restrictive measures imposed through resolutions of the UN Security Council and has reinforced them through its own measures. These measures target the DPRK's weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile-related programmes.

The EU first introduced restrictive measures against the DPRK in December 2006. Those measures implemented the United Nations' sanctions regime, which was adopted following the DPRK's claim that it had conducted a nuclear weapon test.

The EU also reinforced the UN's sanctions regime by adopting autonomous measures complementing and reinforcing the UN Security Council resolutions.
