Explanatory note

From 1st January 1992 the customs procedure to be applied on the arrival of goods from places outside the EC will be governed by Council Regulation (EEC) No. 4151/88 . From that date wharves, transit sheds and airport examination stations for the loading, unloading and storage of goods imported from outside the EC will be approved by the Commissioners directly under that regulation. These changes are reflected in the Customs and Excise Management Act 1979 by a number of textual changes including amendments of the definitions, indexed in section 1, of “approved wharf”, “examination station”, “transit shed” and by the disapplication of certain provisions of statutory instruments to goods arriving from places outside the EC. Provisions so amended or disapplied will remain in force for the purposes of goods imported and exported between the United Kingdom and other member states of the EC and of goods exported from the United Kingdom to places outside the EC. Regulations 3, 4 and 5 lay down rules which supplement the procedure to be followed for presentation, summary declaration and entry of the goods. These provisions are in implementation of that Council Regulation and also Council Directive 79/695/EEC on the harmonisation of procedures for the release of goods for free circulation. The Regulations provide for penalties and forfeiture of the goods in the event of contravention of the procedures.

What Parliament said about it

Hansard was searched for this instrument by name and returned nothing. That is the ordinary outcome: an instrument laid under the negative procedure is usually never debated, and becomes law without a word said about it in either House.

How Parliament handled it

Parliament's Statutory Instruments service records procedure from May 2017 onwards, and this instrument predates it. That is a limit of the source, not a statement that nothing happened.
