ANNEX
Re point 2.(a) of the draft resolution submitted to the Security Council by the United States sales and supplies
(i) There is broad consensus on the following points:
-
the basic aim is to prevent sales and supplies of goods from being executed; if the legislation of certain Member States covers the contracts themselves, it is acknowledged as sufficient for the legislation of other Member States simply to prevent the physical execution of such contracts (export);
the legislation of a number of Member States will also apply to nationals resident in other countries; however, this is not being contemplated by all Member States.
It is, however, recognized that it is not necessary for the laws of Member States to be uniform on this point, having regard to the practical consideration that Member States cannot exercise direct control over the
activities of nationals resident abroad;
the embargo must also cover goods in transit through third countries before being carried to their final destination, Iran, to the extent that this final destination is known at the time of dispatch of the goods from the Member State concerned;
definition of foodstuffs, medicines and supplies intended for strictly medical purposes on the basis of CCT chapters; (see lists A/B and C attached, to which minor amendments may be made if necessary);
definition of the concept of "territory" along the lines of "geographical territory of each Member State".
