Regulation 15 Review
The Secretary of State must from time to time—
carry out a review of these Regulations,
set out the conclusions of the review in a report, and
publish the report.
In carrying out a review mentioned in paragraph (1) the Secretary of State must, so far as is reasonable, have regard to—
the powers and mechanisms available in other member States to enable the provisions of FIC to be enforced, and
how the second subparagraph of point 1(a), the second subparagraph of point 1(b), and point 1(c) of Article 6 of Directive 1999/2/EC (which are implemented by means of regulation 8 and regulation 12 and Schedule 4 so far as (by applying, with some modifications, specified provisions of the Act) they enable an improvement notice to be served on a person requiring that person to comply with regulation 8(1) and (3) and an appeal against such a notice to be made and dealt with, and make the failure to comply with such an improvement notice an offence) are implemented in other member States.
The report must, in particular—
set out the objectives intended to be achieved by the regulatory system established by these Regulations,
assess the extent to which those objectives are achieved, and
assess whether those objectives remain appropriate and, if so, the extent to which they could be achieved with a system that imposes less regulation.
Reports under this regulation are afterwards to be published at intervals not exceeding five years.
