Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

The Export of Goods (Control) (Amendment) Order 2002 makes a number of changes to the Export of Goods (Control) Order 1994:

(a) Article 2(2) and (3) deletes the national controls on four wheel drive civil vehicles to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia;

(b) Article 2(4) deletes the definitions of additives, military explosives and pyrotechnics;

(c) Article 2(5) broadens the definition of explosives and pyrotechnics by widening what can constitute these materials;

(d) Article 2(7)(a) and (b) extends the scope of the principle Order to cover “special forces” parachuting equipment;

(e) Article 2(8) replaces the current explosives Military List with the Schedule to this Order. This takes into account changes made at the Wassenaar Plenary in June 2002 to reflect current technological usage;

(f) Article 2(9) removes countries from Schedule 3 which are no longer subject to arms embargoes.
