The Common Position 931 Working Party, formerly known as the Clearing House, is an advisory technical Working Group whose work is related to the enforcement of UN Security Council Resolution 1373 on terrorists' assets. The group is mandated to examine and evaluate information with a view to the listing and de-listing of persons, groups and entities pursuant to European Union Common Position 931 of 2001, to assess whether the information meets the criteria set out by the Council in Common Position 931, to prepare a regular review of the terrorist list, and to make recommendations for listings and de-listings to be reflected in the necessary legal instruments, to be endorsed by the Permanent Representatives Committee with a view to their adoption by Council.
