This Order makes provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of that Act and it appears to the Secretary of State that it is expedient for references to Annex I of Council Regulation (EU) No 667/2010 to be construed as references to that Annex as amended from time to time. The Secretary of State, in exercise of the powers conferred by section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972, by paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to that Act and by sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7 of the Export Control Act 2002 , makes the following Order. ## 1 Citation, commencement and interpretation . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ## 2 Offences in relation to Eritrea . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ## 3 Offences in relation to designated persons . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ## 4 Overlap with the 2008 Order . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ## 5 Penalties . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ## 6 Application of the 1979 Act . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ## 7 Amendment to the Export Control (North Korea) Order 2007 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ## 8 Amendment to the 2008 Order In Schedule 2 to the 2008 Order, in entry ML9a.1. following “and components therefor specially designed” insert “ or modified ”. ## 9 Review . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ## Signature Mark Prisk Minister of State for Business and Enterprise Department for Business, Innovation and Skills ## Explanatory note (This note is not part of the Order) This Order makes provision relating to the enforcement of certain measures against Eritrea set out in Council Regulation (EU) No 667/2010 (“the Regulation”). The Regulation implements the sanctions imposed by Council Decision 2010/127/CFSP as amended by Council Decision 2010/414/CFSP which in turn implement the restrictive measures contained in the United Nations Security Council Resolution UNSCR 1907 (2009) of 23 December 2009. Articles 2 and 3 create offences for contravention of the provisions of the Regulation referred to there. There are already offences in sections 68 and 170 of the Customs and Excise Management Act 1979 that relate to prohibited exportation of goods (from the United Kingdom). Article 4 addresses a limited overlap with the Export Control Order 2008 (“the 2008 Order”). It provides that if someone acts in a way that would breach both the Regulation – leading to an offence under this Order – and the 2008 Order, that person only commits an offence under this Order. Article 5 sets out the penalties relating to the offences in the Order. The most serious penalties are reserved for knowing and intentionally participating in activities designed to circumvent the prohibitions in the Regulation. Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs will enforce the provisions of the Order. Article 6 ensures that the same ancillary provisions as apply to their enforcement of customs and excise legislation apply in this context. Article 7 makes a technical amendment to the Export Control (North Korea) Order 2007 in order to implement the further amendment to Council Regulation (EC) No 329/2007 made by Council Regulation (EU) No 567/2010 . Article 9 requires the Secretary of State to review the operation and effect of this Order and publish a report within five years after it comes into force and within every five years after that. Following a review it will fall to the Secretary of State to consider whether the Order should remain as it is, or be revoked or be amended. A further instrument would be needed to revoke the Order or to amend it. A regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no or minimal impact on business, charities or voluntary bodies.
