Asset freeze and making available provisions

• The Regulations impose financial sanctions through a targeted asset freeze on designated persons and prohibitions on making funds or economic resources available. This involves the freezing of funds and economic resources (non-monetary assets, such as property or vehicles) of designated persons and ensuring that funds and economic resources are not made available to or for the benefit of designated persons or entities, either directly or indirectly.

The government has repealed Part 1 of the Terrorist Asset-Freezing etc. Act 2010 (TAFA). The Counter-Terrorism (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 came fully into force on 31 December 2020 and are intended to replace Part 1 of TAFA. This sanctions regime aims to further the prevention of terrorism in the UK or elsewhere and protect UK national security interests. It will ensure the UK implements its international obligations under UN Security Council Resolution 1373. You should also review the Sanctions (EU Exit) (Miscellaneous Amendments) (No. 3) Regulations 2020 to find out any amendments made to the Regulations. These regulations have replaced TAFA, with substantially the same effect. Those persons who are designated under this regime are included on the UK sanctions list. There are two other counter-terrorism sanctions regimes: the ISIL (Da’esh) and Al-Qaida sanctions regime and the Counter-Terrorism (International) sanctions regime.

Licensing and exception provisions are contained in Part 4 of the Regulations.
