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 makes provision for the enforcement of certain new trade restrictions against Russia specified in Council Regulation (EU) No 960/2014 (OJ No L 271, 12.9.2014, p3) (“the Amending Regulation”) which amends Council Regulation (EU) No 833/2014 concerning restrictive measures in view of Russia’s actions destabilising the situation in Ukraine. It does so by amending the Export Control (Russia, Crimea and Sevastopol Sanctions) Order 2014 (S.I. 2014/2357) (“the Russia Sanctions Order”) which makes provision for the enforcement of all current trade restrictions against Russia. The new measures include prohibitions on the sale, supply, transfer or export of dual-use goods and technology to certain listed persons or entities in Russia, and on the provision of technical assistance, brokering, financing or financial assistance related to those goods to those listed persons or entities. They also include a prohibition on the provision of certain associated services necessary for deep water oil exploration and production, arctic oil exploration and production, or shale oil projects in Russia, covering drilling, well testing, logging and completion services and the supply of specialised floating vessels. Article 3 of the Order amends the Russia Sanctions Order to create offences and provide the penalties for contravention of the prohibitions set out in Articles 2a and 3a of the Amending Regulation. A regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no or minimal impact on business, charities or voluntary bodies.
