Explanatory note

This Order amends the Syria (Restrictive Measures) (Overseas Territories) Order 2012, as amended, (“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, 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 2013/255 CFSP of 31 May 2013 as amended by Council Decision 2013/760/CFSP of 13 December 2013. This Order modifies the provisions relating to the import of restricted goods such that no offence will be committed where the import etc has been authorised by the Governor, with the consent of the Secretary of State. It also modifies the grounds on which the Governor may grant a licence authorising activity which would otherwise be prohibited by the asset freeze and introduces a new offence of importing, exporting, transferring stolen Syrian cultural property, or providing brokering services related to those activities. It replaces articles 19 to 24 and Schedule 5 of the principal Order with a new Schedule 5 containing updated provisions relating to evidence and information.

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.
