(1) Paragraph (2) applies in relation to each licence or authorisation granted by the Secretary of State which—

(i) which would otherwise be prohibited by any provision of the Export Control Order 2008 except article 20 of that Order (embargoed destinations) or which requires an authorisation under or pursuant to the Dual-Use Regulation, and
(ii) which would (on and after IP completion day, and in the absence of paragraph (2)) be prohibited by Part 5 (Trade),
and such a licence or authorisation is referred to in this regulation as an “existing trade licence”.
(2) A licence is deemed to have been issued by the Secretary of State on IP completion day under regulation 62 (trade licences)—

(b) otherwise in the same terms as the existing trade licence.

and such a licence or authorisation is referred to in this regulation as “an existing trade sanctions licence”.
(4) An existing trade sanctions licence has effect on and after IP completion day as if it were a licence which had been issued by the Secretary of State under regulation 62 (trade licences).
