Paragraph 8 Directions to secure compliance with international obligationsF1
If it appears to the Secretary of State—
that any action proposed to be taken by a recognised qualifying body would be incompatible with assimilated obligations or any other international obligations of the United Kingdom, or
that any action which a recognised qualifying body has power to take is required for the purpose of implementing any such obligations,
the Secretary of State may direct the body not to take or, as the case may be, to take the action in question.
A direction under this paragraph may include such supplementary or incidental requirements as the Secretary of State thinks necessary or expedient.
A direction under this paragraph is enforceable by injunction by the High Court on the application of the Secretary of State.
