Explanatory note

This Order amends the Syria (Restrictive Measures) (Overseas Territories) Order 2012 (S.I. 2012/1755, 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 Regulation (EU) No 36/2012 (OJ No L 016, 19.1.2012, p1), as amended. The amendments made in this Order give effect to changes adopted by the European Union in Council Regulation (EU) No 1323/2014 (OJ No L 358, 13.12.2014, p1). In particular, this Order: (a) creates new offences in relation to the sale, supply, transfer or export of jet fuels and fuel additives to any person, entity or body in Syria or for use in Syria. It also creates offences in relation to the provision of financing or brokering services in relation to the sale, supply, transfer or export of jet fuels and additives; (b) creates new offences in relation to the circumvention of the restrictions on financial services set out in articles 36 to 40 of the principal Order; and (c) precludes the enforcement of certain claims in connection with contracts or transactions which are affected by the principal Order. This Order also amends article 33(2) of the principal Order to include additional bases on which a licence may be granted to authorise conduct which would otherwise be subject to prohibitions set out in articles 25 to 29 of the principal Order. This gives effect to provision made in Council Regulation (EU) No 36/2012, Council Regulation (EU) No 1332/2013 (OJ No L 335, 14.12.2013, p3) and Council Regulation (EU) No 124/2014 (OJ No L 40, 11.2.2014, p8). This Order also makes minor corrections to 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.
