Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order) — published with the instrument by the department that made it. © Crown copyright, reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

This Order is part of the United Kingdom’s implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1747 (2007) (“UNSCR 1747”), which extends the restrictions on trade with Iran imposed by United Nations Security Council Resolution 1737 (2006) to cover military goods and technology. In response to UNSCR 1747, at European Union level, Council Common Position 2007/246/CFSP amended Council Common Position 2007/140/CFSP. In turn, Council Regulation (EC) No 618/2007 amended Council Regulation (EC) No 423/2007 which implemented elements of the original Common Position. New text was added to the Regulation and existing provisions renumbered. The result was that the Export Control (Iran) Order 2007 required amendment. This Order makes the necessary changes. The new offences it creates relate to technical and financial assistance in respect of military goods and technology. These were the only trade related elements of UNSCR 1747 not covered by existing legislation. A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no or minimal impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.

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.
