Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order is one of a series of Orders implementing Directive 2005/65/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26th October 2005 (OJ L 310, 25.11.2005, p28-39) on enhancing port security at individual ports in the United Kingdom. The Directive was transposed in relation to the United Kingdom as a whole by the Port Security Regulations 2009 (S.I. 2009/2048).
Article 2 and Schedule 1 identify the boundaries of the Ports of Swansea and Port Talbot for the purposes of regulation 3(2)(a) of the Port Security Regulations 2009. Article 3(1) designates the Swansea Port and Port Talbot Port Security Authority, for the purposes of regulation 5 of those Regulations, as the port security authority for the Ports of Swansea and Port Talbot. Article 3(2) and Schedule 2 make provision with respect to the Authority's membership and proceedings, to members' interests and to the Authority's status as a non-Crown body. Article 4 requires the Secretary of State to review the operation and effect of this Order and publish a report before 2nd August 2018 and within every five years after that. Following a review it will fall to the Secretary of State to consider whether the Order should remain as it is, or be revoked or be amended. A further instrument would be needed to revoke the Order or to amend it.
A full impact assessment of the effect that this instrument will have on the costs of business and the voluntary sector is available from Caroline Wall at Zone 2/32, 33 Horseferry Road, London SW1P 4DR (Tel: 020 7944 6251; email: caroline.wall@dft.gsi.gov.uk) and is published with the Explanatory Memorandum alongside the instrument on www.legislation.gov.uk.
