The Secretary of State is a Minister designated for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 M1 in relation to the safety of ships and the health and safety of persons on them M2.
The Secretary of State has consulted such persons in the United Kingdom as she considers will be affected by these Regulations in accordance with section 86 of the Merchant Shipping Act 1995 M3.
These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 and it appears to the Secretary of State that it is expedient for references to Annexes to Directive 2009/16/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on port State control M4 to be construed as references to those Annexes as amended from time to time.
The Secretary of State, in exercise of the powers conferred by section 2(2) of, and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to, the European Communities Act 1972 and sections 85 and 86 of the Merchant Shipping Act 1995, makes the following Regulations.

They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:
- Why the government is proposing to intervene;
- The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
- How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
- The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
