Explanatory note

This Order amends the Burma (Restrictive Measures) (Overseas Territories) Order (SI 2004/1979) (the principal Order) to give effect to further restrictive measures in respect of Burma agreed by the European Union in Common Position 2004/740/CFSP (25 October 2004). Council Regulation (EC) No. 798/2004 of 26 April 2004 (the Regulation), as amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1853/2004 of 25 October 2004, implements these measures in EU Member States and this Order extends them to the British overseas territories listed in Schedule 1 to the principal Order. The measures consist of a ban, with certain exemptions, on new investment in listed Burmese state-owned enterprises. This Order also makes minor amendments to the principal Order to correct various errors.

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.
