The Treasury advises that the above Order has been made and comes into operation on 5 March 2018. It makes amendments to existing export control legislation in the Island.
The Export Control (Amendment) Order 2018 which is being applied in Island law with modifications, amends article 2 of and 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 2017/2054/EU of 8 November 2017. The CML itself was changed following the agreement of technical changes made in the Wassenaar Arrangement – an international export control regime.
These amendments are largely technical and minor in nature but nevertheless require changes to be made to the Export Control Order 2008.
For more information on the new Order and export controls in general please contact Customs and Excise or see the Sanctions and Export Control webpage.
