The Treasury are designated(1) for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972(2) in relation to restrictive measures against persons or bodies listed by an international organisation.
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 any reference to Annex II or III to Council Regulation (EU) No 204/2011 of 2 March 2011(3) concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Libya to be construed as a reference to that Annex as amended from time to time.
The Treasury, in exercise of the powers conferred by section 2(2) of, and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to, the European Communities Act 1972, make the following Regulations:
European Communities (Designation) (No.3) Order 2010 (S.I. 2010/1834).
