Statutory Instrument number 130 of 2006, European Communities Trade with Iraq Regulations 2006, provides for penalties for infringements of Council Regulation (EC) No. 1210/2003 which prohibits the import, export and dealing in any item of illegally removed Iraqi cultural property. The Order also revoked European Communities (Trade with Iraq) Regulations 1997 (S.I. No. 370 of 1997) which provided for penalties for breaches of the EU prohibition on trade with Iraq. I am not aware of any companies affected by this Order.
