# The Syria (Sanctions) (Overseas Territories) (Amendment) Order 2024, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Syria (Sanctions) (Overseas Territories) Order 2020 (S.I. 2020/1580) (“the Principal Order”) in consequence of amendments made to the Syria (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/792) by the Syria (Sanctions) (EU Exit) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 2024 (S.I. 2024/833).
The amendments to the Syria (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 were made to:
extend the scope of an exception to certain petroleum-related prohibitions;
replace the existing notification requirement where the exception is relied upon and make further consequential amendments to other provisions;
further widen the scope of the petroleum-related exceptions;
amend the record keeping requirement with respect to trade licences to clarify that the specified information is required “where appropriate”.
This Order makes the necessary amendments to the Principal Order to give effect in the relevant British overseas territories to the changes made to the Syria sanctions regime.
An Impact Assessment has not been prepared for this Order: the territorial extent of both this Order and the Principal Order is the British overseas territories listed in the Schedule to this Order and no, or no significant, impact is foreseen on the private, voluntary or public sector in the United Kingdom.
