(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Burma (Restrictive Measures) (Overseas Territories) Order (SI 2004/1979) (the principal Order) to give effect to further restrictive measures in respect of Burma agreed by the European Union in Common Position 2004/740/CFSP (25 October 2004). Council Regulation (EC) No. 798/2004 of 26 April 2004 (the Regulation), as amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1853/2004 of 25 October 2004, implements these measures in EU Member States and this Order extends them to the British overseas territories listed in Schedule 1 to the principal Order. The measures consist of a ban, with certain exemptions, on new investment in listed Burmese state-owned enterprises.
This Order also makes minor amendments to the principal Order to correct various errors.
