(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations revoke the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Supply and Sale of Equipment) (Penalties and Licences) Regulations 1998 and The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Supply and Sale of Equipment) (Penalties and Licences) (Amendment) Regulations 1999 as they are now superfluous.

The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Supply and Sale of Equipment) (Penalties and Licences) Regulations 1998 and The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Supply and Sale of Equipment) (Penalties and Licences) (Amendment) Regulations 1999 made provision for national enforcement measures and penalties for the infringement of Council Regulation (EC) No 926/98 (OJ No. L 130, 1.5.1998, p.1.) which prohibited the sale or supply to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia of specified equipment which may be used for internal repression or terrorism.

Council Regulation (EC) No 2156/2001 of 5 November 2001 (OJ No. L 289, of 6.11.2001, p.5) lifted the prohibition on the sale or supply to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia of equipment which might be used for internal repression or terrorism and repealed Council Regulation (EC) No 926/98.
