The Aviation Security (Air Cargo Agents) (Amendment) Regulations 1998

Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations further amend the Aviation Security (Air Cargo Agents) Regulations 1993. The amendments made are:

1.  If the Secretary of State decides not to include an applicant on the list of security approved air cargo agents (regulation 8(5)) or if the Secretary of State removes an agent from that list (regulation 10(6)) the period which must elapse before the applicant or the agent can re-apply is increased from three to twelve months (regulation 2(a)).

2.  If an air cargo agent is removed from the list of security approved air cargo agents voluntarily the Secretary of State may re-admit that agent to the list if he is satisfied that it is appropriate to do so and if the agent makes a request to be re-admitted after a period of one month has elapsed from the date of removal from the list (regulation 2(b) and (c)).
