Mr. Savidge: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if the UK will continue to uphold the OSCE embargo
on the export of weapons and military equipment to Azerbaijan. [118646]
Mr. Vaz: The UK remains committed to the OSCE arms embargo against both Azerbaijan and Armenia, which the UK interprets as covering
all goods and technology controlled under entries in Part III of schedule 1 to the Export of Goods (Control) Order 1994 (commonly
known as the military list).
We have recently approved the export of 60 protective vests for demining operations to Azerbaijan. These will be used by the United
Nations Development Programme during humanitarian land mine clearance operations. While the grant of this licence constitutes an
exception to the UK's interpretation of the scope of the embargo, it is in no way inconsistent with the purpose of the embargo and
our continuing commitment to uphold it. It also reflects the determination of the Government to eliminate the scourge of land mines.
