(2)A word or expression which is used in this Order and which is also used in Council Regulation (EC) No. 234/2004 or in Council Regulation (EC) No. 872/2004 has, unless the context otherwise requires, the same meaning in this Order as it has in the Council Regulation concerned.
  1. A person shall not make a financial transfer between the State and another country the effect of which would be to enable or facilitate, directly or indirectly, the doing of any thing which is a breach of Council Regulation (EC) No. 234/2004 or Council Regulation (EC) No. 872/

  4. The Central Bank and Financial Services Authority of Ireland may, for the purpose of supervision of financial transfers and for the administration and enforcement of the provisions of this Order, give such directions or issue such instructions to a person as it sees fit.
  5. A person to whom a direction has been given or an instruction issued under Article 5 of this Order shall comply with such direction or instruction.
  6. A person shall not do anything to directly or indirectly assist in the circumvention of the provisions of this Order.
  7. The Financial Transfers (Liberia) (Prohibition) Order (No. 3) 2005 ( S.I. No. 895 of 2005 ) is revoked. GIVEN under my Official Seal 29 July 2008 BRIAN LENIHAN Minister for Finance EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the Statutory Instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation). This Order provides for enforcement of financial sanctions prohibiting financial transfers between the State and another country, as outlined in Council Regulation (EC) No. 234/2004 of 10 February 2004, as amended, and Council Regulation (EC) No. 872/2004 of 29 April 2004, as amended, concerning restrictive measures against Liberia. The sanctions include a prohibition on financial assistance related to military activities in Liberia, and the freezing of funds and economic resources of former Liberian President Charles Taylor, his immediate family and close associates engaged in or providing support for activities undermining peace and stability in Liberia. The Order provides that the Central Bank and Financial Services Authority of Ireland may issue instructions for the purpose of giving full effect to the financial sanctions and requires compliance with such instructions. The Financial Transfers Act 1992 allows for control of financial transfers between the State and other countries, creates an offence for breach of the provisions of any Order made under it and provides for appropriate penalties. 1 OJ L40, 12.2.2004, p.
