EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)


This Order amends the lists in the Export of Goods, Transfer of Technology and Provision of Technical Assistance (Control) Order 2003 ("the 2003 Order") that determine what goods and technology are subject to export controls. The content of these lists derives partly from an international regime known as the Wassenaar Arrangement. The Wassenaar Arrangement control lists were amended in December 2006 and article 2 of, and the Schedules to, this Order reflect the changes. They also correct minor drafting errors in entries ML3 and ML8 and amend some purely national controls, including those relating to dual-use goods and technology bound for Iran.

Our legislation on trade controls, that is controls that affect the movement of goods between States other than the UK, operates by reference to the lists in the 2003 Order. Article 2(5) of this Order puts beyond doubt that references in the relevant legislation to Schedule 1 to the 2003 Order are to the amended Schedule 1.

Article 3 of the Order updates the 2003 Order so that it refers to the most recent amendments to Council Regulation (EC) No 1334/2000[6] (often called the "dual-use Regulation") and corrects an error in the Export Control (Lebanon, etc.) Order 2006.

A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as minimal or no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
