EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the 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. 314/2004 of 19 February 2004, as amended, concerning restrictive measures against Zimbabwe. The sanctions include a prohibition on financing or financial assistance related to
  1. a)military activities in Zimbabwe and
  2. b)the supply of equipment which may be used for internal repression in Zimbabwe. The sanctions also include the freezing of funds and economic resources belonging to named members of the Government of Zimbabwe and to their families and close associates. The most recent amendments to the Council Regulation are contained in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No. 145/2013 of 19 February 2013, Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No. 298/2013 of 27 March 2013, and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No. 915/2013 of 23 September 2013 which replace Annex II, amends Annex III to the Council Regulation and provides for the suspension of the application of Article 6 of the Council Regulation until 20 February 2014. 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 55, 24.2.04, p. 1 2 OJ No. L 252, 24.9.13, p. 23 3 OJ No. L 273, 21.8.04, p. 12 4 OJ No. L 216, 20.8.05, p. 6 5 OJ No. L 363, 20.12.06, p. 1 6 OJ No. L 51, 2.3.10, p. 13 7 OJ No. L 49, 22.2.12, p. 2 8 OJ No. L 47, 20.2.13, p. 63 9 OJ No. L 90, 28.3.13, p. 48 Privacy Statement Accessibility European Legislation Identifier (PDF) Open Data License Ráiteas Príobháideachais Inrochtaineacht Aitheantóir Eorpach Reachtaíochta (ELI) Ceadúnas Sonraí Oscailte Liosta Fianán © Government of Ireland.
