<p>There are no plans to ban support for exports of goods and services to coal plants
and coal mining overseas. However, applications to UK Export Finance (UKEF) which
fall within the ambit of the OECD Common Approaches for Officially Supported Export
Credits and Environmental and Social Due Diligence will require that coal projects
meet international, environmental, social, and human rights standards to qualify for
support. <br> <br> UKEF is participating in discussions in the OECD with the aim of
achieving a multilateral agreement on limiting the provision of export credits for
coal-fired power projects and an agreement is expected to be reached later in November.</p>
