The Treasury are designated M1 for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 M2 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 an Annex to Council Regulation (EC) No. 329/2007 of 27th March 2007 M3 concerning restrictive measures against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to be construed as a reference to that Annex as amended from time to time.
