Community Provisions (Restrictive Measures - Iran) (Amendment No.2) (Jersey) Order 2011

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While there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.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.2) (Jersey) Order 2011

Decision(s):  The Chief Minister, in pursuance of Article 2 of the European Communities Legislation (Implementation) (Jersey) Law 1996 and having regard to Council Regulation (EU) No. 961/2010 on restrictive measures against Iran and repealing Regulation (EC) No. 423/2007, decided to make the Community Provisions (Restrictive Measures – Iran) (Amendment No.2) (Jersey) Order 2011.

Reason(s) for Decision:

  • The United Nations Security Council adopted, on 9 June 2010, resolution 1929 (2010) calling on all States to implement further restrictive measures in relation to Iran.
  • The European Union introduced Council Regulation (EU) No. 961/2010 on 26 July 2010 confirming the restrictive measures taken since 2007 and providing for additional measures to comply with UN SCR 1929 (2010).
  • The list of sanctions targets involved in Iran’s nuclear or ballistic missile activities has been amended and further persons added by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1245/2011.  In line with Jersey’s policy to implement equivalent measures, the Jersey legislation should be updated accordingly.
  • This Order also amends Article 10 of the Community Provisions (Restrictive Measures – Iran) (Jersey) Order 2010 to create an offence for breaches of Article 21 of Council Regulation (EU) No. 961/2010.
