On wider scrutiny, the Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments considered this instrument on 4 November and concluded that it did not need to be reported. The Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee raised no specific concerns about this instrument, although it noted it as an instrument of interest. The committee stated that, although this SI “maintains the status quo”, it makes two changes: first, the right to transit through the EU to reach non-EU countries that have ratified the protocol and, secondly, the removal of cabotage rights for EU operators within the UK.
