(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Syria (Restrictive Measures) (Overseas Territories) Order 2012 (S.I. 2012/1755) ("the principal Order"). The principal Order gives effect in specified Overseas Territories to sanctions in respect of Syria adopted by the European Union in Council Decision 2013/255/CFSP, as amended.
Article 15A of the principal Order prohibits the importation, exportation and transfer of, and the provision of related brokering services in respect of, Syrian cultural property which was illegally removed from Syria. Paragraph (2) of article 15A provides that the prohibitions do not apply if the property was removed from Syria prior to 9th May 2011. This Order amends that date so that the prohibitions apply in respect of property illegally removed from Syria from 15th March 2011 onwards. This implements the change adopted by the European Union in Council Decision 2015/837/CFSP, which aligns the date from which the prohibition takes effect with that in United Nations Security Council resolution 2199 (2015).
S.I. 2012/1755, amended by S.I. 2012/3069, 2013/1719, 2013/2598, 2014/269 and 2015/824.
Article 15A was inserted by S.I. 2014/269.
