Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Order amends the Export of Goods, Transfer of Technology and Provision of Technical Assistance (Control) (Overseas Territories) Order 2004 (the principal Order) by adding additional penalty provisions related to prohibitions on exports. This Order extends to the territories listed in Schedule 1. The need for the added provisions arises due to there being no legislative provision in these territories equivalent to the UK customs and excise legislation supplying penalties. A full regulatory input assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
