Explanatory note

This Order amends the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Restrictive Measures) (Overseas Territories) Order 2003, as amended (“the 2003 Order”). The 2003 Order applies in the Overseas Territories specified in Schedule 1 the measures adopted by the United Nations Security Council in resolution 1493 (2003) and by the Council of the European Union in a Common Position adopted on 17th September 2003. This Order gives effect to the modified arms embargo measures provided for in United Nations Security Council resolution 1807 (2008) and EU Council Decision 2010/788 adopted on 20th December 2010. This Order reduces the scope of the arms embargo already in place by restricting the prohibitions to the supply or export of arms and related materiel and the provision of assistance, advice or training related to military activities to non-governmental persons in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The opportunity has also been taken to clarify the 2003 Order by including definitions of “financing and financial assistance” and “technical assistance” and updating the definition of restricted goods.

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.
