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 amends the Somalia (Sanctions) (Overseas Territories) Order 2012 (S.I. 2012/3065), which gives effect in all Overseas Territories except Bermuda and Gibraltar (which implement sanctions through their own domestic legislation) to the sanctions regime established by the United Nations Security Council in respect of Somalia. This Order gives effect to amendments to the sanctions regime made by resolution 2498 (2019) which was adopted by the United Nations Security Council on 15th November 2019. It establishes a prohibition on the sale, supply, transfer or export of certain components for improvised explosive devices, and makes amendments to the related licensing and enforcement provisions. It also amends the article (namely, article 10) which provides for the Governor of a Territory to license certain activities in line with the updated exemptions and derogations relating to the arms embargo as provided for in resolution 2498 (2019). This Order reflects the implementation of those provisions by the European Union in Council Decision (CFSP) 2020/170 of 6 February 2020 and Council Regulation (EU) 2020/169 of the same date, which amend the provisions of Council Decision 2010/231/CFSP and Council Regulation (EC) No 147/2003 respectively. An Impact Assessment has not been prepared for this instrument because there is no, or no significant, impact on business in the United Kingdom.

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 has no record of this instrument, although it covers the period. Nothing is inferred from that.
