This change ensures that prohibitions and obligations under UK sanctions listed in the Sanctions Order Schedule 1 are automatically applied in Jersey, streamlining the process and removing the need for future amendments. The Minister for External Relations retains the authority to modify or disapply specific sanctions. Additionally, annual frozen asset reporting dates now align with Jersey's financial year.

This amendment ensures that Jersey's sanctions framework remains aligned with the UK, reducing administrative delays, and ensuring swift compliance with international obligations. By adopting this automatic implementation approach, Jersey demonstrates its commitment to maintaining an efficient and robust sanctions regime while preserving the flexibility to address local legislative needs.
