Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order makes two additions to entry ML7.a in Part III of Schedule 1 to the Export of Goods Control Order 1994.
The first addition is of items (1) to (6) in the Schedule to the Chemical Weapons Act 1996. That Schedule lists all the chemicals the export of which to all countries is controlled under the Chemical Weapons Convention 1993 (Cm. 2331). Items (7) (saxitoxin) and (8) (ricin) are to be controlled by Council Regulation (EC) 3381/94 on the control of exports of dual-use goods (O.J. L 367, 31.12.94, p. 1): see Council Decision 97/100/CFSP (O.J. L 34, 4.2.97, p. 1). Items (9) to (12) (precursors) are already expressly listed in entry ML7.b. Items (1) to (6) are already covered by the general words of entry ML7.a but not expressly listed.
The second addition is of the toxic chemical known as “BZ”. Its export to non-parties is controlled under the Chemical Weapons Convention. It is the only chemical so controlled which is not yet expressly listed in entry ML7 nor controlled or to be controlled under the Council Regulation.
