Original consultation
Consultation description
We propose to repeal the EU port services requirement of Regulation EUR 2017/352 (PSR) and revoke or amend its 2 associated statutory instruments. This will support UK-specific transport regulation for UK ports.
The PSR is an EU law that applies to the larger UK ports – those that were defined as part of the Trans-European Transport Network. The regulation has continued to apply after the end of the transition period (since 31 December 2020).
We propose to:
- bring legislation before Parliament to repeal the EU port services Regulation (EU 2017/352)
- revoke The Port Services Regulations 2019, a statutory instrument that implements discretionary and mandatory elements of the PSR
- amend relevant parts of the Pilotage and Port Services (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020
