The Treasury make the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by section 2(2) of, and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to, the European Communities Act 1972 M1.

The Treasury are designated M2 for the purposes of section 2(2) of that Act in relation to (i) measures relating to the movement of capital and to payments between Member States and between Member States and countries which are not Member States, and (ii) measures relating to the interruption or reduction, in part or completely, of economic relations with one or more countries which are not Member States.

These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of that Act and it appears to the Treasury that it is expedient for the reference to Council Regulation (EC) No. 314/2004 of 19th February 2004 concerning certain restrictive measures in respect of Zimbabwe M3 to be construed as a reference to that Regulation as amended from time to time.
