This Order, made under the Export Control Act 2002 (2002 c. 28) (the Act), extends with modifications the Trade in Goods (Control) Order 2003 (S.I. 2003/2765) (the UK Order) to the territories listed in Schedule 1. It controls the trade between one overseas country and another of military and para-military goods and specified missiles for the time being listed in Schedule 1 to the Export of Goods, Transfer of Technology and Provision of Technical Assistance (Control) Order 2003 (S.I. 2003/2764, as amended by S.I. 2004/1050, 2004/2561 and 2004/2741) as extended to those overseas territories by the Export of Goods, Transfer of Technology and Provision of Technical Assistance (Control) (Overseas Territories) Order 2004 (S.I. 2004/3101). In this Order these goods are referred to as “controlled goods”. Further controls are imposed on “restricted goods” as listed in Schedule 4. The controls in this Order do not apply to software or technology or to activities connected to trade in controlled goods that are situated in a territory (with the exception of goods in transit via the territory).
In relation to restricted goods, paragraph 3 of Schedule 2 prohibits any person within a territory, or a United Kingdom person (as defined in the Order) elsewhere, from supplying or delivering, or doing any act calculated to promote the supply or delivery of, restricted goods without a licence from the Governor (or a licence granted under any other order made under the Act).
In relation to controlled goods, paragraph 4 of Schedule 2 prohibits any person in a territory from transferring, acquiring or disposing, or arranging or negotiating a contract for the acquisition or disposal, of controlled goods without a licence from the Governor (or a licence granted under any other order made under the Act). In addition, the provisions on controlled goods prohibit any person in a territory in return for a fee, commission or other consideration from doing any act or agreeing to do any act, without a licence, which would promote the arrangement or negotiation of a contract for the acquisition or disposal of controlled goods where that person knows or has reason to believe that the goods will be moved from one third country to another third country.
Schedule 2 exempts persons whose sole involvement in the movement of controlled goods from one overseas country to another is to provide transport, finance, insurance or general advertising or promotion services.
The remaining paragraphs in Schedule 2 do the following:
Paragraphs 5-7 provide for the issuing of licences by the Governor, registration, record keeping and inspection and licence refusals and appeals;
Paragraphs 8-12 provide for offences, enforcement and penalties for the breach of the controls;
Paragraph 13 sets out the purposes for which information obtained by the Governor, or the customs authorities, can be disclosed; and
Paragraph 14 states the address where notices to be given by any person under this Order are to be sent.
Schedule 3 extends with modifications the provisions of section 9 of the Export Control Act 2002 to the territories listed in Schedule 1.
Schedule 4 to this Order sets out the goods which are restricted under this Order and article 5 provides for the Governor to make modifications to Schedule 4 in the event of modifications to the Schedule to the UK Order.
Schedule 5 provides for offences, enforcement and penalties for the breach of the controls in respect of the Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia.
