This Order removes references to the Bosnian-Serb areas of Bosnia-Herzegovina from the exclusions in the Export of Goods (Control) Order 1994 from the provisions in that Order on goods in transit.

The Order also adds Serbia and Montenegro as destinations to which the vehicles specified in Group 3 of Part I of Schedule 1 to the 1994 Order may not be exported without a licence from the Secretary of State.
