Synthesized answer
The statement from the Secretary of State highlights a tension between imposing controls and respecting the freedom to carry on relevant activities [1]. This indicates a balancing act inherent in the Order's implementation [1]. The Secretary of State determined that regulating certain activities was necessary due to prevailing circumstances, but only after considering both the reasons for controls and the need to respect the freedom to engage in those activities [1].
The passages do not elaborate on the specific practical dilemmas that might arise from this balancing act. However, it can be inferred that implementing these controls involves weighing the necessity of regulation against the impact on individuals' or businesses' freedom to conduct their activities. The requirement for disclosure of information to be proportionate to the object of disclosure also suggests a practical consideration in how controls are applied [5].
