These Regulations are made under the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018 (c. 13) to amend the Russia (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/855) (“the 2019 Regulations”). Regulation 3 brings forward the introduction date for the prohibitions relating to trade in all oil and oil products from 31st December 2022 to 5th December 2022. Regulation 4 creates new prohibitions applying to the supply and delivery by ship of certain oil and oil products (“the new prohibitions”). Provision of related ancillary services is also prohibited. Regulations 5 and 6 create exceptions from the new prohibitions. Regulations 7 and 17 make provision about Treasury licences allowing maritime transportation of oil and oil products to take place notwithstanding the new prohibitions. Regulation 8 clarifies that trade licences may not be granted in respect of the new prohibitions. Regulation 9 imposes obligations to report certain information to the Treasury relating to the new prohibitions. Regulation 10 allows the Treasury to request information relating to the new prohibitions. Regulation 12 ensures that offences under regulation 67 of the 2019 Regulations insofar as they relate to the new prohibitions may be investigated and prosecuted under the Customs and Excise Management Act 1979 (c. 2). Regulation 13 makes provision concerning where the offences relating to the new prohibitions may be tried. Regulation 14 makes provision concerning the application of Chapter 1 of Part 2 of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 (c. 15) to the new prohibitions. Regulation 15 both allows the Treasury to impose monetary penalties for breaches of the new prohibitions and related offences and creates related appeal rights. Regulation 11 makes a consequential amendment in respect of disclosure of information for these purposes. Regulation 16 allows for the enforcement of the new prohibitions by maritime enforcement officers.
