Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order corrects an error made in the Trade in Controlled Goods (Embargoed Destinations) Order 2004 (SI 2004/318) so as to clarify that the defence in article 8(4) applies in respect of the offence created by article 8(1), which provides that any person who contravenes a prohibition or restriction in article 3 (supply and delivery of controlled goods) shall be guilty of a summary offence.

A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business.
