Those provisions are those set out— a in article 1, which prohibits the take off from or landing in the United Kingdom of— aircraft operated, directly or indirectly, by a Yugoslav carrier aircraft registered in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia civil aircraft operated for commercial or private purposes if it has taken off from or is destined to land in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. b in article 5, which prohibits the participation, knowingly and intentionally, in related activities, the object or effect of which is, directly or indirectly, to circumvent the provisions of articles 1 and 2 of the Council Regulation. These sanctions do not apply where article 102 of the Air Navigation (No. 2) Order 1995 is contravened. Council Regulation (EC) 2151/1999 superseded Council Regulation (EC) No. 1064/1999, which prohibited any civil aircraft being flown to or from anywhere in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and exempts from the previous ban flights by Montenegro Airlines, whose fleet carries Yugoslavian registration, and non-Federal Republic of Yugoslavia airlines operating to the Republic of Montenegro or the Province of Kosovo.

What Parliament said about it

Hansard was searched for this instrument by name and returned nothing. That is the ordinary outcome: an instrument laid under the negative procedure is usually never debated, and becomes law without a word said about it in either House.

How Parliament handled it

Parliament's Statutory Instruments service records procedure from May 2017 onwards, and this instrument predates it. That is a limit of the source, not a statement that nothing happened.
