EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
The Export Control (Burma) Order 2008 contains provisions to give effect to Council Regulation (EC) No 194/2008 concerning restrictive measures against Burma. This Order amends the 2008 Order to take account of amendments to the 2008 Regulation. The amendments affect the sanctions related to round logs, timber and timber products, coal and certain metals and precious and semi-precious stones. The 2008 Regulation as amended allows Member States to authorise the purchase of these products from Burma in specified circumstances such as, for example, where the goods are for a humanitarian aid project or programme.
The opportunity has also been taken to update references in the 2008 Order to "Community authorisations" to reflect the changes of terminology effected by the Lisbon Treaty.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
