EXPLANATORY NOTE

EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the Order)

This Order implements in part Council Regulation (EC) 1110/2008 which amends Council Regulation (EC) 423/2007 (“the original Regulation”).

Council Regulation (EC) 1110/2008 was adopted pursuant to Council Common Position 2008/652/CFSP which provides, amongst other issues, for the prohibition of the supply, sale or transfer of certain goods and technology that could contribute to the proliferation of sensitive nuclear activities or the development of nuclear weapons delivery systems.

This Order makes amendments to the Export Control (Iran) Order 2007 that correspond to the amendments to the original Regulation.

A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument, as it has no impact on the costs of business.
