By declaring North Korea as a country \"subject to trade sanctions,\" this instrument automatically excludes all North Korea-related promotional spending from grant eligibility.\n\n**Why it matters**\nThis ensures Australia's trade assistance aligns with its foreign policy and international sanctions obligations. Businesses must self-fund any market development activities in North Korea without taxpayer support."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/export-market-development-grants-democratic-people-s-republic-of-korea-sanctions-declaration-2009","history":"/api/acts/export-market-development-grants-democratic-people-s-republic-of-korea-sanctions-declaration-2009/history","analysis":"/api/acts/export-market-development-grants-democratic-people-s-republic-of-korea-sanctions-declaration-2009/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/export-market-development-grants-democratic-people-s-republic-of-korea-sanctions-declaration-2009/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/export-market-development-grants-democratic-people-s-republic-of-korea-sanctions-declaration-2009/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/export-market-development-grants-democratic-people-s-republic-of-korea-sanctions-declaration-2009/documents"}}
