ORDER CANCELLING GENERAL EXPORT CANCELLATION 1. General Export Permit No. Ex. 28Angola (see footnote 1) is hereby cancelled. COMING INTO FORCE 2. This Order comes into force on the day on which it is registered. REGULATORY IMPACT ANALYSIS STATEMENT (This statement is not part of the Order.) Description General Export Permit No. Ex. 28Angola was made in conjunction with the listing of Angola on the Area Control List. These measures were taken to implement Resolution 864, adopted by the United Nations Security Council on September 15, 1993, pursuant to Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter (Action with Respect to Threats to the Peace, Breaches of the Peace, and Acts of Aggression). Resolution 864 imposed economic sanctions on Angola, targeted against the Uniao Nacional para a Independencia Total de Angola (UNITA). The purpose of the sanctions was to enforce the Security Council's demand for an immediate cease-fire and the resumption of peace talks between the Angolan government and UNITA. Due to the fact that Angola was placed on the Area Control List, export permits were required for all goods going to Angola. In order to authorize and facilitate the export of food, clothing and medical supplies to regions controlled by the legitimate government, General Export Permit No. Ex. 28Angola was promulgated. In light of the progress made by the parties in achieving a peaceful settlement to their conflict, the United Nations Security Council decided to lift the economic sanctions against Angola and UNITA as of December 9, 2002. Accordingly, the Area Control List was amended to remove Angola, and the General Export Permit No. Ex. 28Angola was repealed. This repeal does not affect other legislation. Alternatives The Export and Import Permits Act is the only legislative authority to implement these measures. Benefits and Costs The lifting of sanctions will allow for the resumption of exports of Canadian goods whose export was hitherto prohibited under these Regulations. Consultation The Department of Justice was consulted. Compliance and Enforcement Not applicable. Contacts
