These Regulations, made in exercise of the power in section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972, amend the Iraq (United Nations Sanctions) Order 2000 (the “2000 Order”) which gave effect to certain aspects of the sanctions imposed against Iraq by United Nations Security Council Resolution 1483(2003) of 22nd May 2003. The amendments are made to ensure that full effect is given in the United Kingdom to the provisions of Council Regulation (EC) No. 1210 of 7 July 2003 concerning certain specific restrictions on economic and financial relations with Iraq and repealing Regulation (EC) No 2465/96 (the “2003 Regulation”), which implemented Resolution 1483 (2003) at Community level. Regulations 3(2) and (3) amend the personal scope of the 2000 Order so that it applies to persons who are onboard aircraft or ships that are registered in the United Kingdom, as well all persons in the airspace above any part of the United Kingdom and persons carrying on any business in the United Kingdom. Regulation 3(5) amends article 4A of the 2000 Order in order to enable the Treasury to issue a direction under that article in respect of persons they have reasonable grounds for suspecting are or may be listed in either Annex III or Annex IV to the 2003 Regulation, as well as certain persons that they have reasonable grounds for suspecting are or may be connected with persons who are listed in Annex IV to the Council Regulation. Regulation 3(6) amends article 5A(3) of the 2000 Order to adjust the scope of the exemption from the requirement to transfer funds to the account of the Development Fund for Iraq and makes various amendments in consequence of the changes that have been made to article 5A(3). Regulation 4 makes provision requiring the transfer to the Development Fund for Iraq of funds that are subject to a direction of the sort referred to in article 6(1) of the Iraq (United Nations Sanctions)(Amendment) Order 2004 and which, as a consequence of the amendments that have been made to the 2000 Order by these Regulations, no longer fall within article 5A(3) of the 2000 Order.

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.
