Speaking in the House of Lords on 15 October 2024

Debate

Syria (Sanctions) (EU Exit) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 2024

Contribution

In addition, the instrument replaces the existing notification requirement for “relevant persons”, using the humanitarian exception for petroleum prohibitions in the 2019 regulations, with a requirement to notify the Treasury annually that they are involved in the provision of humanitarian assistance in Syria. The notification requirement will apply to relevant persons conducting humanitarian assistance activities in Syria, but not to financial service providers, the UN, the International Committee of the Red Cross, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, the British Red Cross or downstream delivery partners.
