# The Export Control (Amendment) Order 2014, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends Part 2 of Schedule 1 to the Export Control Order 2008 which lists goods subject to stricter export and trade controls. The amendment gives effect to the requirements in Article 10 of the Arms Trade Treaty (Brokering controls) adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations by Resolution 67/234 B of 2 April 2013 so as to ensure that all necessary export and trade controls are in place by the time the United Kingdom ratifies that Treaty. It expands the list of items subject to trade controls (brokering and trafficking) in Part 2 of the Export Control Order 2008 to include (in paragraphs 18 to 22) all the conventional arms falling within the categories specified in Article 2(1) of the Arms Trade Treaty.
An Impact Assessment has not been prepared in respect of this Order as minimal or no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen. An Explanatory Memorandum and a transposition note are available alongside the instrument on the www.legislation.gov.uk website. Copies have also been placed in the Libraries of both Houses of Parliament.
