Part 2: Eu Financial Sanctions

Section 50: The EU sanctions to which Part 2 applies

146.Section 50 clarifies that Part 2 applies in principle to EU financial sanctions imposed on the UK after the commencement of Part 2. It also enables a Minister to give a certificate which has the effect of specifying a part of an EU financial sanction to which the powers under this Part do not apply. The intention is that this power will be used for parts of the EU financial sanction which relate to devolved matters.
