L'înformâtion et les sèrvices publyis pouor I'Île dé Jèrri

Community Provisions (Restrictive Measures - Iran) (Amendment No.5) (Jersey) Order 2013

A formal published “Ministerial Decision” is required as a record of the decision of a Minister (or an Assistant Minister where they have delegated authority) as they exercise their responsibilities and powers.

Ministers are elected by the States Assembly and have legal responsibilities and powers as “corporation sole” under the States of Jersey Law 2005 by virtue of their office and in their areas of responsibility, including entering into agreements, and under any legislation conferring on them powers.

An accurate record of “Ministerial Decisions” is vital to effective governance, including:

  • demonstrating that good governance, and clear lines of accountability and authority, are in place around decisions-making – including the reasons and basis on which a decision is made, and the action required to implement a decision

  • providing a record of decisions and actions that will be available for examination by States Members, and Panels and Committees of the States Assembly; the public, organisations, and the media; and as a historical record and point of reference for the conduct of public affairs

Ministers are individually accountable to the States Assembly, including for the actions of the departments and agencies which discharge their responsibilities.

The Freedom of Information Law (Jersey) Law 2011 is used as a guide when determining what information is be published. While there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

Subject:   

Community Provisions (Restrictive Measures – Iran) (Amendment No.5) (Jersey) Order 2013

Decision(s): 

The Minister for External Relations, in pursuance of Article 2 of the European Communities Legislation (Implementation) (Jersey) Law 1996 and having regard to Council Regulation (EU) No. 267/2012 concerning restrictive measures against Iran, made the Community Provisions (Restrictive Measures – Iran) (Amendment No.5) (Jersey) Order 2013.

Reason(s) for Decision:

The United Nations Security Council has adopted certain sanctions measures relating to the Islamic Republic of Iran. Subsequently, the European Union has introduced Council Regulation (EU) No. 267/2012 concerning restrictive measures against Iran with regard to Iran's proliferation sensitive nuclear activities and the development of nuclear weapon delivery systems.

Council Regulation 267/2012 has been amended by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) 1154/2013 and Council Implementing Regulation (EU) 1203/2013. 

These two Implementing Regulations each re-list on new grounds, in the lists of persons and entities subject to restrictive measures set out in Annex IX to Regulation No. 267/2012, certain persons and entities whose inclusion had been annulled by judgements of the General Court of the European Union.  The first Implementing Regulation also excludes one entity from listing, following a judgment of the same court, and amends identifying information in relation to another entity.  The second Implementing Regulation also removes three more entities from the lists and amends identifying information in relation to another entity.

Resource Implications:

There are no manpower or revenue implications arising.

Action required:

The Chief Minister’s Department shall –

(1) inform the Assistant Greffier of the States and the States Greffe Publications Editor immediately the Order is made.

(2) deliver the signed and sealed order to the Publications Editor.
