Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations) — published with the instrument by the department that made it. © Crown copyright, reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

The making of these Regulations is consequent on amendment to EC Regulations dealing with Community transit and the EEC-EFTA Convention on common transit. Penalties and forfeiture are created for contravention of these procedures. These two transit procedures have hitherto been dealt with in separate statutory instruments: the Customs and Excise (Community Transit) (No. 2) Regulations 1987 and the Customs and Excise (Common Transit) Regulations 1988, both revoked by these Regulations. The penalty, proceedings and forfeiture procedure are governed by the Customs and Excise Management Act 1979. The Schedules to the 1987 and 1988 Regulations are replaced by the Schedule to these Regulations to take account of:— the repeal of Council Regulation (EEC) No. 222/77 and its replacement by Council Regulation (EEC) No. 2726/90 ; the repeal of Commission Regulation (EEC) No. 1062/87 and its replacement by Commission Regulation (EEC) No. 1214/92 ; the repeal of Commission Regulation (EEC) No. 2823/87 and its replacement by Commission Regulation (EEC) No. 3566/92 ; the substitution of new Appendices to the EEC-EFTA Convention governing common transit procedure . Regulation 5 reflects the arrangements which have been made to deal with the transition from the procedures governed by the replaced EC Regulations and Convention Appendices.

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.
