Now therefore the Secretary of State, in exercise of his powers under section 1(1) of the Protection of Trading Interests Act 1980 (the “1980 Act”) and of all other powers enabling him in that behalf, hereby makes the following Order—

1

This Order may be cited as the Protection of Trading Interests (US Reexport Control) Order 1982 and shall come into operation on 1st July 1982.
