(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order further amends the Iran (Restrictive Measures) (Overseas Territories) Order 2011 (S.I. 2011/2989), which gives effect in specified Overseas Territories to restrictive measures imposed on Iran by Council Decision 2011/235/CFSP of 12 April 2011. It reflects amendments to that Decision made by Council Decision 2012/810/CFSP adopted on 20 December 2012.
It introduces exemptions from the prohibitions relating to equipment which may be used for internal repression. The Governor may authorise the sale, supply, transfer or export of such equipment, or technical assistance, brokering services, financing or financial assistance related to such equipment, if it is intended solely for the protective use of the personnel of the European Union and its Member States in Iran.
