This regulation sets out the requirements and procedures for air cargo agents applying for inclusion on a statutory list approved for aviation security purposes. It applies provisions of the Aviation Security Act 1982, granting the Secretary of State authority to issue directions regarding aviation security. The regulation replaces previous Statutory Instruments, ensuring consistency and addressing potential contradictions with Assimilated Law (former EU Law). This updated instrument applies to a broader category of air cargo agents, aiming to streamline regulatory processes and enhance aviation security measures.
