REGULATORY IMPACT ANALYSIS STATEMENT

(This statement is not part of the Regulations.)

1. Background

On July 26, 2010, sanctions against Iran were enacted under the Special Economic Measures Act in response to Iran’s nuclear proliferation activities, its violation of multiple United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolutions and its failure to cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The Governor in Council had determined that the situation constituted a grave breach of international peace and security that had resulted or was likely to result in a serious international crisis. The Special Economic Measures (Iran) Regulations (the Iran Regulations) prohibited dealings with a list of designated persons, banned the export of goods used in the liquefaction of gas or the refining of oil as well as the export of arms and related material not already prohibited under existing United Nations sanctions, prohibited the provision of certain financial services to persons in Iran and prohibited the export of a long list of goods and related technology that could be used in Iran’s nuclear and missile programs.

The Regulations Amending the Special Economic Measures (Iran) Regulations of October 18, 2011, added five individuals that are senior officials of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps Quds Force, or are associated with such senior officials, to the list of designated persons. These individuals were implicated in the plot to kill the Saudi ambassador in the United States.

The Regulations Amending the Special Economic Measures (Iran) Regulations of November 21, 2011, further amended the Regulations in response to the IAEA’s November 9, 2011, assessment of Iran’s nuclear program. The new sanctions prohibited all financial transactions with Iran, subject to certain exceptions; expanded the list of prohibited goods to include all goods used in the petrochemical, oil and gas industry in Iran; added prohibited goods to include items that could be used in Iran’s nuclear program; added new individuals and entities to the list of designated persons found in Schedule 1 of the Iran Regulations; and removed certain entities that were recommended for removal by the Minister of Foreign Affairs as no longer presenting a proliferation concern for Canada.

The Regulations Amending the Special Economic Measures (Iran) Regulations of January 31, 2012, added three individuals and five entities to the list of designated persons. These individuals were listed in order to maintain unity with the measures adopted by the European Union (EU).

The Regulations are now further amended in response to Iran’s continued lack of cooperation with the IAEA and the P5+1 group (UNSC permanent members and Germany), which has engaged negotiations with Iran on its nuclear program, and to maintain unity and consistency with the latest measures adopted by the European Union and other countries.

The latest amendments prohibit any person in Canada or Canadian abroad from

  • dealing in the property of 98 newly designated entities, and one newly designated individual, that engage in activities that directly or indirectly facilitate, support, provide funding for, or contribute to, or could contribute to, Iran’s proliferation-sensitive nuclear activities, or to Iran’s activities related to the development of chemical, biological or nuclear weapons of mass destructions or delivery systems for such weapons;
  • exporting, selling, supplying or shipping any of the following goods, wherever situated, to Iran:
  • equipment or machinery designed for the building, maintenance or refitting of ships,
  • vessels designed for the transport or storage of oil and petroleum or petrochemical products,
  • goods designed for drilling, surveying and mineral exploration, and specialized equipment used in the mining industry,
  • goods used to provide broadcasting, telecommunications or satellite services to Iran or to any entity acting on behalf of, or at the direction or order of Iran, and
  • goods used in the production of metals, and new goods of proliferation concern, as added to Schedule 2 of the Iran Regulations;
  • providing any flagging or classification services to Iranian oil tankers or cargo vessels;
  • providing or acquiring insurance and reinsurance to, from or for the benefit of, or on the direction or order of, Iran or any entity in Iran;
  • exporting to Iran any hard currency from any country and of any denomination that is greater in value than $40,000;
  • importing, purchasing, acquiring or shipping natural gas, oil, petroleum or petrochemical products from Iran; and
  • providing marketing services, or any financial or other related services in respect of prohibited goods.

In order to relieve some of the pressure on ordinary Iranians, recent Iranian immigrants to Canada, and family members of persons in Iran, the Iran Regulations are also amended to allow all financial banking transactions of $40,000 and under between family members in Canada and family members in Iran. The Iran Regulations also remove names of entities that no longer present a proliferation concern to Canada.

2. Issue

Iran’s persistent failure to comply with its obligations under its Comprehensive Safeguards Agreement and relevant UNSC resolutions is the cause of grave concern to the IAEA and the broader world community, including Canada. On November 16, 2012, the IAEA’s Director General concluded in his report that Iran has failed to cooperate with the IAEA as required in relevant resolutions (GOV/2011/69 and GOV/2012/50) to resolve outstanding issues pertaining to its nuclear program. Most critically, there has been no further progress on the Agency’s investigation into the Possible Military Dimensions (PMD) of Iran’s program. The report contains a detailed listing of the attempts the IAEA has made to engage in meaningful dialogue with Iran to no avail, clearly demonstrating continued stonewalling of the IAEA by Iran.

Multiple rounds of international sanctions have not yet affected the pace of Iran’s nuclear program and its enrichment activities. Iran has proven able to circumvent existing sanctions and to obtain, through front companies led by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) business conglomerate, diverse sources of funding that may contribute to Iran’s nuclear activities.

3. Objectives

The objectives of the Regulations are to add further obstacles to Iran’s efforts to build its nuclear program, and to persuade Iran’s leadership to resume negotiations with respect to its nuclear program. The latest amendments of the Regulations are closely aligned with the most recent EU sanctions with a view to strengthen international pressure, and expand the sanctions to strategic sectors that indirectly contribute to the nuclear program. Amendments seek to

  • further target sources of funding that may contribute to Iran’s nuclear program, notably through revenue from oil sales;
  • limit Iran’s capacity to trade in gold or other currencies outside the financial banking system;
  • widen the list of prohibited goods and listed persons and entities;
  • allow non-objectionable transactions of $40,000 or less; and
  • amend the list of designated persons to remove those persons that the Minister of Foreign Affairs has determined no longer present a proliferation concern.

4. Description

The latest Regulations Amending the Special Economic Measures (Iran) Regulations prohibit additional goods and services and add close to 100 entities to the list of designated persons subject to a prohibition on dealings under the Regulations. The Minister of Foreign Affairs is authorized to issue permits to allow those affected by the Regulations to undertake activities that would otherwise be prohibited. The amendments also remove from the list of designated persons those who no longer fulfill the criteria for being a designated person.

5. Consultation

The Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade drafted the amendments to the Iran Regulations following consultations with the Department of Justice, the Canada Border Services Agency, the Department of Finance Canada, the Department of Citizenship and Immigration, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, the Treasury Board Secretariat, the Department of Agriculture and Agri-Food and the Privy Council Office. All departments and agencies consented to this action.

6. Small business lens

The existing prohibitions on financial services between Canada and Iran bring increasing complexities to trade and banking transactions with Iran, including for exempted goods. The new measures are expected to have an impact on Canadian companies active in the additional prohibited sectors, but the impacts are limited as trade activities with Iran have decreased significantly in recent years. The Minister of Foreign Affairs is authorized to issue permits to allow those affected by the Regulations to undertake activities that would otherwise be prohibited.

7. Rationale

The provisions of the Regulations were implemented to put pressure on the Government of Iran to urgently comply with UNSC resolutions and other legal obligations regarding its nuclear program and to halt its proliferation activities. The measures contained in the amendments to the Regulations are the best available options to contain Iran’s nuclear program and to urge Iran to enter meaningful negotiations. The international community seeks to achieve a comprehensive, long-standing and peaceful settlement with Iran, with proper safeguard measures and transparency, in a way that would restore confidence in the exclusively peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear program. Canada and its partners are adopting new sanctions in support of efforts to seek a diplomatic settlement to the Iranian crisis.

8. Implementation, enforcement and service standards

Provisions of Canada’s sanctions are enforced by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Canada Border Services Agency.
