This Order amends the Zimbabwe (Sanctions) (Overseas Territories) Order 2012 (S.I. 2012/2753, as amended) (“the principal Order”), which gives effect in certain overseas territories to sanctions adopted by the European Union against Zimbabwe.
On 27th March 2013, by Council Decision 2013/160/CFSP (OJ No L 90, 28.3.2013, p95), the European Union decided to suspend, in relation to the majority of designated persons, the application of all financial sanctions. This suspension was given effect in the Zimbabwe (Sanctions) (Overseas Territories) (Suspension and Amendment) Order 2013 (S.I. 2013/1446). The suspension was extended to additional designated persons by Council Decision 2014/98/CFSP (OJ No L 50, 20.2.2014, p20) and continued in Council Decision 2015/277/CFSP (OJ No L 47, 20.2.2015, p20) (“the 2015 Decision”). The amendments made in this Order give effect to the suspension, as continued in the 2015 Decision. In particular, article 2(2) amends the definition of “designated person” in the principal Order to exclude any person, body or entity in respect of whom the financial sanctions are suspended as listed in Annex IV to Council Regulation (EC) No 314/2004 (OJ No L 55, 24.2.2004, p1), as amended.
Article 2(3) makes minor corrections to the principal Order.
