EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order gives effect in the specified overseas territories to measures adopted by the United Nations Security Council in resolution 2095(2013) and the European Union in Council Decisions 2013/45/CFSP of 22nd January 2013 and 2013/182/CFSP of 22nd April 2013 which were implemented in Council Regulation (EU) No. 488/2013 of 27th May 2013.
Resolution 2095 and the Council Decision of 22nd April introduced changes to the Libya arms embargo. States no longer require the approval of the UN Sanctions Committee before selling, supplying or transferring arms or assistance to Libya where such activity is solely for the benefit of the Libyan Government for security or disarmament purposes. Neither do States have to notify the UN Sanctions Committee when selling, supplying or transferring to Libya non-lethal military equipment or related technical assistance when it is intended solely for humanitarian or protective use.
There is also a new exemption introduced in respect of the frozen accounts of EU listed persons. These persons may now benefit from, or make, payments in accordance with judicial or administrative decisions or liens where such decisions or liens became enforceable after the persons were listed.
