Export Control (Amendment) (No. 3) Order 2017 (Application) Order 2017

The Treasury advised that the above Order has been made and comes into operation on 13 July 2017.  It makes amendments to existing export control legislation in the Island.

The Export Control (Amendment) (No. 3) Order 2017 (“the applied Order”) which is being applied in Island law with modifications, amends Schedule 2 to the Export Control Order 2008 which contains a list of defence-related items that are subject to export and other controls and which includes items on the European Union Common Military List (“the CML”).  The CML is contained in an Annex to Directive 2009/43/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 May 2009.

The amendments implement changes to the CML made by Commission Directive 2017/433/EU of 7 March 2017.  These amendments are largely technical and minor in nature but nevertheless require changes to be made to the Export Control Order 2008.
