Abstract

This Order amends the Antarctic Act 1994 (Overseas Territories) Order 1995 in order to implement the amendments made to the Antarctic Act 1994 by the Antarctic Act 2013. Part II of the Antarctic Act 2013 made a number of minor changes to the permit regime set out in the Antarctic Act 1994. The changes bring non-UK nationals on British expeditions into the scope of the permit regime; allows the UK to permit conservation work on historic sites and monuments in Antarctica; and creates new offences of introducing non-sterile soil or microscopic organisms into Antarctica, damaging native invertebrates, or having an animal on board a vessel.
