Details of new statutory orders implemented in UK law in relation to sanctioned destinations.
The Export Control Organisation (ECO) has introduced three new legislative orders which provide for enforcement of certain provisions of the European Union (EU) sanctions on Eritrea, Iran and Syria.
The new legislation is:
- The Export Control (Eritrea and Miscellaneous Amendments) Order 2011 (SI 2011/1296)
- The Export Control (Iran) Order 2011 (SI 2011/1297)
