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, amended by S.I. 2013/2815).

Article 2 and the Schedule define the boundary of the Port of Glasgow for the purposes of the definition of "port" in regulation 2 of the Port Security Regulations 2009 (as amended by S.I. 2013/2815). Article 3(1) designates Glasgow Port Security Authority Limited, for the purposes of regulation 5 of those Regulations, as the port security authority for the Port of Glasgow. Article 3(2) makes provision with respect 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 9th January 2019 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 Gary Kemp at Zone 2/32, 33 Horseferry Road, London SW1P 4DR (Tel: 020 7944 6242; email: [email protected]) and is published with the Explanatory Memorandum alongside the instrument on http://www.legislation.gov.uk.
