# The Export Control (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 2023, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend Schedule 4 to the Export Control Order 2008 (S.I. 2008/3231) (“the 2008 Order”) and Council Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 of 5 May 2009 setting up a Community regime for the control of exports, transfer, brokering and transit of dual-use items (Recast) (EUR 2009/428) (“the retained Dual-Use Regulation”).
Regulation 2 omits Syria from the list in Part 2 of Schedule 4 to the 2008 Order. This change is to remedy an ambiguity in the 2008 Order as to the position of Syria in Schedule 4.
Regulation 3 amends Annex I to the retained Dual-Use Regulation, which lists dual-use goods, software and technology subject to export controls. These changes are to correct two drafting errors introduced by the Export Control (Amendment) Regulations 2023 (S.I. 2023/695) in which words already contained in the retained Dual-Use Regulation were inserted a second time.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sectors is foreseen. An Explanatory Memorandum is available from the Export Control Joint Unit, Old Admiralty Building, London SW1A 2DY. An Explanatory Memorandum has also been published alongside the instrument at www.legislation.gov.uk and a copy has been placed in the Libraries of both Houses of Parliament.
