Explanatory note

This Order make provision for the enforcement of a new trade restriction against Russia specified in Council Regulation (EU) 2015/1797 (OJ No L 263, 8.10.2015, p.10), which amends Council Regulation (EU) No 833/2014 concerning restrictive measures in view of Russia’s actions destabilising the situation in Ukraine (OJ L 229, 31.7.2014, p. 1) (the “Russia Sanctions Regulation”). 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 restriction imposes a requirement for authorisation for the provision of technical assistance, financing or financial assistance for: (i) the sale, supply, transfer or export or the import, purchase or transport of Hydrazine; (ii) the import, purchase or transport of Unsymmetrical dimethyl hydrazine; (iii) the sale, supply, transfer or export or the import, purchase or transport of Monomethyl hydrazine. Article 2 of the Order amends the Russia Sanctions Order to amend certain definitions, create offences for breach of the new restriction in Article 4(2b) of the Russia Sanctions Regulation insofar as it concerns the provision of technical assistance and insofar as it concerns the provision of financing or financial assistance, and for circumvention of the restriction, and provides penalties for commission of those offences. An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no or minimal impact on business, charities or voluntary bodies.
