The Export Control (North Korea) (Amendment) Order 2010
This Order arises from changes to the EU legislation imposing sanctions on North Korea. When the relevant Council Regulation was first adopted, a range of implementing legislation was necessary. The legislation relating to export controls appeared in the Export Control (North Korea) Order 2007 and set out penalties for breach of provisions of the Council Regulation. The relevant provisions have now been amended to increase the scope of the existing restrictions (they now extend to all dual-use items listed in the dual-use Regulation and also to other sensitive items) and to impose new restrictions on obtaining technical and financial assistance from North Korea. This has made it necessary to amend the implementing legislation.
