Explanatory note

This Order repeats the contents of the Export of Goods (Control) (Amendment) Order 2003 (S.I. 1905/2003), which proposed various amendments to the Export of Goods (Control) Order 1994, and revokes S.I. 1905/2003 due to an error in Part III, Schedule 1 at ML6.

Article 1 provides for the citation and commencement of the Order, and defines the Export Control of Goods (Control) Order 1994 as the “principal Order”.

Article 2 gives effect to the modifications specified in Schedules 1 (amendment) and 2 (revocations).

Schedule 1 replaces the current Group 2 of the principal Order (Explosive related good list) with Schedule 1 to this Order, and also makes technical amendments to the Military List to reflect changes agreed at the Wassenaar Plenary in December 2002, which reflect current technological usage.

Schedule 2 makes various revocations and removes Angola from the principal Order, as Angola is no longer subject to an UN arms embargo.
