The Secretary of State is a Minister designated for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 M1 in relation to—

(a)

measures relating to trade in dual-use items, including the transmission of software or technology in intangible form M2; and

(b)

matters relating to trade in certain goods, including technical assistance, which could be used for capital punishment, torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment M3.

It appears to the Secretary of State that it is expedient for the references in this Order to Council Regulation (EC) No 1334/2000 M4, Council Regulation (EC) No 1236/2005 M5, Article 3 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 M6 and Article 3 of Council Regulation (EC) No 450/2008 M7 to be construed as references to those instruments and provisions as amended from time to time.

To the extent that this Order regulates any of the activities listed in section 8(1) of the Export Control Act 2002 M8, the Secretary of State, having considered the reasons for the relevant controls and the need to respect the freedom to carry on the relevant activities, has determined that such regulation is necessary in the circumstances prevailing at the time of this Order.

The Secretary of State, in exercise of the powers conferred by section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 M9, by paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to that Act M10 and by sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7 of the Export Control Act 2002 M11, makes the following Order:
