Sure. It effectively changes the legal burden when making the case for a designation because, in theory, any designated entity or individual has the opportunity to challenge that designation in court. The description of the designation that you put forth into the public domain has to stand up potentially to legal scrutiny. As a result of that, the legal authorities' description, in the form of the executive order, is important.
What the U.S. did—I believe that executive order was January 2015—was in effect say that they no longer need to prove that an entity or an individual had materially assisted proliferation, for example, or conventional weapons trade, or some other proscribed activity. All they need to do is prove that the entity or individual was connected to the North Korean government or had assisted someone who was connected to the North Korean government. It's a very broad brush, legal authority, in that executive order, and it's much easier to prove that a North Korean is connected to the North Korean government, or that someone who has created a company together with a North Korean is connected to a North Korean government, than it is to prove that they've necessarily facilitated a proliferation-related shipment, for example.
