These Regulations implement, in part, Council Directive 94/57/EC, on common rules and standards for ship inspection and survey organisations. The Regulations provide for local representation of organisations the Marine Safety Agency authorises pursuant to the Council Directive, provides for reciprocity of authorisation of recognised organisations and lays down duties of authorised organisations and recognised organisations. The Regulations also provide for withdrawal of recognition from organisations where the United Kingdom is satisfied the organisation no longer fulfils the criteria set out in a Directive required for recognition. Merchant Shipping Notices may be obtained from Eros Marketing Support Services Ltd, Unit B, Imber Court Trading Estate, Orchard Lane, East Molesley, Surrey, KT8 0BN. The international Conventions, Protocols, amendments and Codes referred to in regulation 2(1) can be obtained from the International Maritime Organisation, 4 Albert Embankment, London SE1 7SR.

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.
