EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Liberia (Restrictive Measures) (Overseas Territories) Order 2004 ("the 2004 Order") by removing the prohibition in Article 7 on the importation of round logs and timber products from Liberia and making the necessary consequential changes to the provisions on penalties and proceedings in Article 17 and Schedule 2. The 2004 Order was amended once previously by S.I. 2004 No. 1112 The Liberia (Restrictive Measures) (Overseas Territories) (Amendment) Order 2004.
Following the decision dated 20 June 2006 of the UN Security Council under Resolution 1689(2006) not to renew the prohibition against imports of all round logs and timber products originating in Liberia, which had been imposed by paragraph 10 of UNSCR 1521(2003) and implemented in the European Union by Article 4 of Council Common Position 2004/137/CFSP of 10 February 2004 and Article 6(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No. 234/2004, the European Community under Article 1 of Council Regulation (EC) No. 1819/2006 of 11 December removed its prohibition on imports of all round logs and timber products from Liberia. This Order reflects the European Community's decision by removing the prohibition in the Overseas Territories listed in Schedule 1 of the 2004 Order.
