**Summary:**
Council Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2504 of 9 November 2023 amends Regulation (EU) 2016/44 concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Libya.

Specifically, the entry for Aisha Muammer Mohamed El-Qaddafi is removed from the list of natural and legal persons, entities, or bodies subject to restrictive measures as outlined in Article 6(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/44. This regulation entered into force on 11 November 2023, the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
