(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Channel Tunnel (International Arrangements) Order 1993 (“the Order”) so as to extend the provisions of primary and subordinate legislation relating to transport and road traffic frontier controls to the control zone in France within the tunnel system in the Channel Tunnel terminal at Frethun in France, in accordance with Articles 8,9 and 11 of the Protocol between the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Government of the French Republic Concerning Frontier Controls and Policing, Co-operation in Criminal Justice, Public Safety and Mutual Assistance Relating to the Channel Fixed Link signed at Sangatte on 25 November 1991 (Cm 1802) which entered into force on 2 August 1993.
A new paragraph is inserted in article 7 (Enactments modified) so that any reference in those provisions of primary and subordinate legislation to a road or a public road is a reference to any part of the control zone.
