I'm not ignoring any part of it. IT says that faction ID'd ships that aren't of the military, pirate, or police factions may move outside of Gallia as escorts. This means that the pirate factions, Maquis, Brigands, Corse; cannot escort their transports/freighters past the area that they can already operate. Which is the Taus and edge of Outcast space.
Does it make sense? Nope. Do I care if you do it? Nope. Do people do it? Yep. Why? The annoucements aren't clear enough for any concrete view on the matter. I've merely gave my interpretation of it. Had you read my post in its entiretely you'd have understood that.
I'm also of the mind that anyone sanctioned for having a Corse, Maquis, or Brigand outside of the Taus and wasn't pirating to be BLEH. Since the rule on the matter is so grey.
