Miss Begg: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement about the supply of
demining equipment to non- Governmental organisations in Kosovo. [129387]
Mr. Vaz: We have approved the export to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) of protective body armour to Danish Church Aid and
European Landmine Solutions, organisations engaged in humanitarian demining activities on behalf of the United Nations Interim
Administration in Kosovo (UNMIK).
These goods are on the Military List. UN Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1160 (1998) prohibits the supply of arms and related
material to the FRY. However UNSCR 1244 (1999), provides for the sale or supply or arms or related material for use by the
international civil and security presence in Kosovo. We have notified the UN FRY Sanctions Committee of this export and they have
raised no objection. The export of this equipment underlines UK support both for the peaceful reconstruction of Kosovo and the work
of the UN Mines Action Programme.

Ms Squire: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the export of de-mining
vehicles to the HALO Trust in Kosovo. [128297]
Mr. Vaz: The Government have granted a licence for the export to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) of an armour protected

the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK). This vehicle is rated on the UK's Military List.
Although UN Security Council resolution (UNSCR) 1160 (1998) imposed an arms embargo on the FRY, UNSCR 1160 shall not apply to the
sale or supply of arms and related material for use by the international civil and security presence in Kosovo. We have notified the
UN FRY Sanctions Committee of this export and they have raised no objection.

Mr. Ivan Lewis: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the export of
demining equipment to the HALO Trust in Kosovo. [111120]
Mr. Vaz: We have granted a licence for the export to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) of a rocket wrench, de-arming kit and
power charges for use by the HALO Trust, an organisation engaged in humanitarian demining activities in Kosovo on behalf of the
United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK). These goods are on the UK's Military List.
UN Security Council resolution (UNSCR) 1160 imposed an arms embargo on the FRY. The only exception to this embargo is that in UNSCR
1244, which provides that prohibitions imposed by UNSCR 1160 shall not apply to the sale or supply of arms and related material for
use by the international civil and security presence in Kosovo. We have notified the UN Sanctions Committee of this export and they
have raised no objection. The export of the equipment required for demining purposes is not prohibited by the EU arms embargo.
