Explanatory Note.
Since the outbreak of the Korean war Hong Kong has been astrolling the export from the Colony of a wide variety of materiala by means of a licensing system imposed by virtue of Orders made by the Governor in Council under the provisions of the Importation and Exportation Ordinance, 1915,
2. Three such Orders were brought into operation in 1960 and are still in force, namely, the Exportation (Prohibition) (Specified Articles) Order, 1950, the Exportation (Prohibition) (Specified Articles) (No. 2) Order, 1950, and the Exportation (Prohibition) (Specified Articles) (No. 3) Order, 1950,
3. In compliance with the spirit of the United Nations Resolution the selective embargo of strategic materials to China passed on the 3th May of this year, His Majesty's Government is establishing control by licence over exports to China and to Hong Kong. In co-operation with His Majesty's Government, and in common with all other Colonies, Hong Kong will exercise similar export control over an agreed list of Krategic materials.
4. Accordingly, the purpose of this Order is to consolidate and extend to some degree, by employing more comprehensive descriptions sf specifled articles, the axport controls already being exercised in the Colony under the three Orders already mentioned in paragraph 2. This purpose is achieved by the revocation of the said three Orders and by combining in the Schedule to this Order, under comprehensive des- criptions, those materials at present specified in the Schedules to the revoked Order..
