This Order amends the Syria (Restrictive Measures) (Overseas Territories) Order 2012 (“the principal Order”). The principal Order gives effect in specified Overseas Territories to sanctions in respect of Syria adopted by the European Union in Council Decision 2011/782/CFSP adopted on 1st December 2011 (“the Council Decision”) and EU Council Regulation No 36/2012 adopted on 18th January 2012 (“the Council Regulation”), as amended. This Order amends the principal Order to give effect to changes to the sanctions measures adopted by the European Union in Council Decision 2012/420/CFSP adopted on 23rd July 2012 and in Council Decision 2012/634/CFSP adopted on 15th October 2012. The changes to which this Order gives effect are a seizure and disposal measure in relation to items which might be used for internal repression or for the manufacture and maintenance of products which could be used for internal repression as listed in Annexes I and Ia to the Council Regulation, new exemptions to the asset freeze and a prohibition on the purchase, import and transport of arms from, or originating in, Syria. The opportunity has also been taken to update, and make minor corrections to, the drafting of the principal 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.
