In any other case, the permitted maximum is £1,000,000. Any monetary penalty payable under this regulation is recoverable by the Treasury as a civil debt. Any monetary penalty received by the Treasury by virtue of this regulation must be paid into the Consolidated Fund. The Treasury may publish reports at such intervals as it considers appropriate in cases where— a monetary penalty has not been imposed under this regulation, but the Treasury is satisfied, on the balance of probabilities, that a person has committed an offence under a provision referred to in paragraph (1). Before imposing a monetary penalty on a person under regulation 56C (Treasury: power to impose monetary penalties), the Treasury must inform the person of its intention to do so. The Treasury must also— explain the grounds for imposing the penalty, specify the amount of the penalty, explain that the person is entitled to make representations, and specify the period within which any such representations must be made. If (having considered any representations), the Treasury decides to impose the penalty, the Treasury must— inform the person of its decision, explain that the person is entitled to seek a review by a Minister of the Crown, and specify the period within which the person must inform the Treasury that the person wishes to seek such a review. If the person seeks a review, the Minister may— uphold the decision to impose the penalty and its amount, uphold the decision to impose the penalty but substitute a different amount, or cancel the decision to impose the penalty. If on a review under paragraph (4) the Minister decides to uphold the Treasury’s decision to impose the penalty and its amount, or to uphold the Treasury’s decision to impose the penalty but to substitute a different amount, the person may appeal (on any ground) to the Upper Tribunal. On an appeal under paragraph (5), the Upper Tribunal may quash the Minister’s decision and if it does so may— quash the Treasury’s decision to impose the penalty, uphold that decision but substitute a different amount for the amount determined by the Treasury (or, in a case where the Minister substituted a different amount, by the Minister).

Regulation 4 also makes further amendments and corrections to the Republic of Belarus (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019: to introduce a new obligation for designated persons to report funds or economic resources which that person owns, holds or controls, and the location of those.

These Regulations also revoke the Burundi (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/1142). A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sector is foreseen.
