EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the Instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation.) This Order updates and replaces S.I. No. 479 of 2010 to give full effect to Commission Regulation (EU) No. 383/2011 of 18 April 2011 which replaces Annexes V, VI and VII to Council Regulation (EC) No. 194/2008 of 25 February 2008. This updated Order provides for enforcement of financial sanctions prohibiting financial transfers between the State and another country, as outlined in Council Regulation (EC) No. 194/2008 of 25 February 2008, as amended, concerning restrictive measures against Burma/Myanmar. These financial sanctions include:
  1. a)a prohibition on providing financing or financial assistance related to i. military activities in Burma/Myanmar; ii. certain equipment which may be used for internal repression in Burma/Myanmar; iii. certain equipment and technology which may be used by named enterprises in Burma/Myanmar engaged in the logging and timber industries or the mining of coal, gold, silver, certain base metals and precious and semi-precious stones;
  2. b)the freezing of funds and economic resources belonging to individual members of the Government of Burma/Myanmar and of named persons and entities associated with them; and
  3. c)the granting of any financial loans or credit to certain named entities and enterprises controlled by the individual members of the Government of Burma/Myanmar, the acquisition or extension of a participation in these enterprises or the creation of a joint venture with them. The Order provides that the Central Bank 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 No. L.66, 10.03.08, p.1. 2 OJ No. L.116, 30.04.08, p.5. 3 OJ No. L.198, 26.07.08, p.74. 4 OJ No. L.212, 15.08.09, p.10. 5 OJ No. L.339, 22.12.09, p.24. 6 OJ No. L.118, 12.05.10, p.10. 7 OJ No. L.118, 12.05.10, p.5. 8 OJ No. L. 103, 19.04.11, p.8.
