		Annex to the letter dated 14 December 2006 from the Permanent Representative of the Netherlands to the United Nations addressed to the Chairman of the Committee


		Netherlands report on efforts towards implementation of 
Security Council resolution 1718 (2006)


	Pursuant to paragraph 11 of Security Council resolution 1718 (2006) I have the honour to inform you about the steps taken by the Netherlands Government to implement the provisions of paragraph 8 of the resolution.
	Member States of the European Union implement the provisions of United Nations Security Council resolutions that fall within the scope of the competence of the EU via European Regulations and Common Positions. The Finnish Presidency has informed you by letter of November 13th about the steps taken by the European Union in this respect. As soon as the European Regulation and the Common Position are adopted, the Netherlands minister of Foreign Affairs, in cooperation with the other ministers concerned, will lay own the necessary national provisions in secondary legislation, within the framework of the Sanctions Law 1977.
	Pending the adoption of the European Regulation and the Common Position, the competent authorities will not grant any export licence for the supply of any military equipment or nuclear material to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. Neither does the Netherlands, within the framework of existing legislation, grant export licences for goods and technologies controlled by the Convention on Chemical Weapons, the Australia Group, the Nuclear Suppliers Group and the Missile Technology Control Regime.
