  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis 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).\nArticle 2 and Schedules 1and 2 identify the boundaries of the Port of Dover for the purposes of regulation 3(2)(a) of the Port Security Regulations 2009. The effect of these provisions is to include in the designated Port of Dover both the core port estate (as indicated in Schedule 1) and an area of water extending approximately one nautical mile beyond the harbour walls on the seaward side (which has been assessed as also relevant to the security of the port), as indicated in article 2(1)(b) and Schedule 2. Article 3(1) designates the Dover Port Security Authority, for the purposes of regulation 5 of those Regulations, as the port security authority for the Port of Dover. Article 3(2) and Schedule 3 make provision with respect to the Authority’s membership and proceedings, to members’ interests and 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 1st January 2014 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.\nA full impact assessment of the effect that this instrument will have on the costs of business and the voluntary sector is available from Tony Smith at Zone 31/2, 33 Horseferry Road, London SW1P 4DR (Tel: 020 7944 5875; email: tonyl.smith@dft.gsi.gov.uk) and is published with the Explanatory Memorandum alongside the instrument on www.legislation.gov.uk. Copies of each document have been placed in the library of each House of Parliament.",
