Where exemptions are granted, there is a legal obligation to publish them in the respective GB and NI versions of the Carriage of Dangerous Goods: Approved Derogations and Transitional Provisions (AD&TP). This document needs updating to remove obsolete derogations and recognise new ones. In addition, there are proposed changes to the transitional provisions regarding the inspection of certain tanks and mobile explosive manufacturing units (MEMUs) which also require amendments to the AD&TP. The purpose of this consultation paper is to seek views on: the description we are proposing to include in the AD&TP to explain the meaning and purpose of those particular derogations; the accompanying explanation for the updated transitional provisions covering the inspection of certain tanks; the accompanying explanation for the new transitional provisions covering the inspection of MEMUs; the proposal to consolidate the separate NI and GB versions of the AD&TP into one single document covering the United Kingdom (UK); and other minor changes that have been made. Who should read this consultation document? This is of relevance to anyone who is involved in the transport of dangerous goods but particularly those involved in transportable pressure equipment, tanks and MEMUs. 3 How to Respond The consultation period began on 4 July 2011 and will run until 30 August 2011, please ensure that your response reaches us by that date.

When responding, please state whether you are responding as an individual or representing the views of an organisation. If responding on behalf of a larger organisation please make it clear who the organisation represents, and where applicable, how the views of members were assembled. All Northern Ireland consultation responses will be copied to the Department of Justice, Northern Ireland and the Health and Safety Executive for Northern Ireland. A list of those consulted is attached at Annex C. If you have any suggestions of others who may wish to be involved in this process, please contact us. Background The GB and NI versions of the AD&TP are legal documents. They are issued in GB under The Carriage of Dangerous Goods and 4 Use of Transportable Pressure Equipment Regulations 2009 (CDG 2009) and in NI under the Carriage of Dangerous Goods and Use of Transportable Pressure Equipment Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 (CDG 2010) and under the Carriage of Explosives Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010. Both GB and NI versions of the AD&TP document list exemptions from the requirements and prohibitions relating to the transport of dangerous goods. CDG 2009, CDG 2010 and CE 2010 require that a consultation is carried out before any substantial alteration to the AD&TP. Not all the changes proposed are substantial but all proposed changes are included in this consultation. The main proposed changes are: Tanks We propose amending part 3 of AD&TP to cover tanks used in the UK that were not constructed to the requirements of the international carriage of dangerous goods by rail (RID) and road (ADR) respectively. These UK tanks will include old tanks1 as well as those that were constructed to EN 12493 Annex C. The current provisions for old tanks in GB and NI, state that the inspection arrangements are subject to written schemes of examination as set out in GB AD&TP (July 2009) and NI AD&TP (April 2010). Currently the duty is on the individual tank’s owner / operator to produce such an inspection scheme and to ensure compliance with that scheme. We propose to remove the requirement for the owner / operator of UK tanks to have a written scheme of examination. Currently there is a requirement for old tanks to be inspected by a body appointed by the competent authority; this will continue for UK tanks but instead of working to a written scheme of examination the appointed inspection bodies will perform the inspection in accordance with the Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA) document entitled “Procedures for Inspection Bodies: Testing and Inspection of UK Tanks”. This will be achieved by amending requirement 1 in part 3 of AD&TP. Moving to the proposed inspection regime will provide a system similar to that which exists for tanks constructed to the requirements 1 An old tank is a” tank used for the carriage of dangerous goods that was constructed before 10 May 2004 in GB and in NI before 31 July 2006 and not constructed to the provisions of RID or ADR (for the full definition of an old tanks see GB AD&TP 2009 or NI AD&TP 2010 as appropriate). 5 of RID/ADR. Individual written schemes have to be assessed by appointed inspection bodies which do not necessarily ensure standard procedures for all UK tanks. The single system we propose provides for a consistent approach to tank inspections. Mobile Explosive Manufacturing Units (MEMUs)2 ADR 2009 introduced provisions for MEMUs requiring all new MEMUs to be constructed and certified in accordance with the provisions of ADR 2009 (or later editions as appropriate). ADR permits the continued use of MEMUs constructed before the ADR 2009 provisions provided those MEMUs are approved by the competent authority. We are proposing to issue such an approval to all pre-ADR 2009 MEMUs constructed to national requirements in the UK prior to 1 July 2009 provided they remain safe for their intended purpose. The approval will be valid for use in GB only. In NI MEMUs will continue to be approved by the competent authority and part of the approval will be an inspection by DVA/VOSA. The approval will be valid in NI only. Pre-ADR 2009 MEMUs imported into the UK will require competent authority’s approval before they can be used in the UK. Part 1 Derogations for Transport by Road Road Derogation 3 exempts from the requirements relating to fire-fighting equipment for the carriage of certain Class 7 goods by road. It has been amended to include the provision that the dangerous goods specified in paragraph 1 of the derogation may be carried with dangerous goods of other classes in certain specified circumstances. Road Derogation 10 is obsolete and has been removed. The numbering is reserved. Road Derogation 17 is a new derogation exempting health care workers from the requirements of ADR 8.1.4.1 to carry a 2kg fire extinguisher subject to certain conditions. 2 The meaning of Mobile Explosive Manufacturing Unit (MEMU), is defined in section 1.2.1 of ADR 2009 as: ” a unit, or a vehicle mounted with a unit, for manufacturing and charging explosives from dangerous goods that are not explosives. The unit consists of various tanks and bulk containers and process equipment as well as pumps and related equipment. The MEMU may have special compartments for packaged explosives.” 6 Part 2 Derogations for Transport by Rail Rail derogation 6 is obsolete and has been removed. The numbering is reserved. Part 3 Requirements for tanks other than RID or ADR tanks used or intended to be used for the carriage of dangerous goods in UK This has been amended to remove the requirement to maintain certain tanks to a written scheme of examination and replace it with an inspection process similar to that prescribed by RID / ADR. It has also been amended to include tanks constructed to EN 12493 Annex C as permitted under the transitional provisions with regards to the reference temperature in Directive 2008/68/EC. Part 5 Mobile Explosive Manufacturing Units (MEMUs) All pre-ADR 2009 MEMUs constructed to the national requirements in the UK prior to 1 July 2009, and provided that they are safe for their intended purpose, are approved for the use in GB only. In NI MEMUs will continue to be approved by the competent authority and part of the approval will be an inspection by DVA / VOSA. The approval will be valid in Northern Ireland only. Pre-ADR 2009 MEMUs imported into the UK will require competent authority’s approval before they can be used in the UK. 7 Impact Assessment The Impact Assessment is at Annex A. When responding to the consultation, please comment on the analysis of costs and benefits giving supporting evidence wherever possible.

    EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM TO THE COMPETITION ACT 1998 (PUBLIC POLICY EXCLUSION) ORDER 2007 2007 No. 1896 1. This explanatory memorandum has been prepared by the Department of Trade and Industry and is laid before Parliament by Command of Her Majesty. 2. Description 2.1 The Order excludes agreements between two or more members of Team CW or between a member of Team CW and any other person together with conduct by a member of Team CW from the prohibitions contained in Chapters I and II of the Competition Act 1998 provided certain conditions, as to the purpose and effect of the agreement or conduct, are satisfied. 3. Matters of special interest to the Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments None. 4. Legislative Background 4.1 Paragraphs 7(1) and (2) of Schedule 3 to the Act provide that the Secretary of State may, if satisfied that there are exceptional and compelling reasons of public policy, by order, exclude agreements of a particular description either generally or in specified circumstances from the Chapter I prohibition. Paragraph 7(4) enables the Secretary of State, if satisfied that there are exceptional and compelling reasons of public policy, to disapply the Chapter II prohibition from conduct in particular circumstances. 4.2 The Chapter I and II prohibitions are modelled on and can apply in parallel to the prohibitions in Article 81(1) and Article 82 of the EC treaty in cases where there is an effect on trade between Member States. No inconsistency between EC and domestic competition law will result from this order because the competition provisions of the EC Treaty are disapplied by virtue of Article 296(1)(b) which provides that the provisions of the Treaty shall not preclude the application of the rule that “any Member State may take such measures as it considers necessary for the protection of the essential interests of its security which are connected with the production of or trade in arms, munitions and war material”.

Changes to UK Defence Statistics (UKDS) this year include a new section on Defence Inflation and an expanded International Defence section in Chapter 1, the restructuring of the Armed Forces Personnel section in Chapter 2, and a new section on Amputations in Chapter 3. UK Defence Statistics (UKDS) is a National Statistics publication, produced according to the standards of the Official Statistics Code of Practice. However some of the tables in UKDS do not have National Statistics status – some are produced by areas outside of the scope of the Government Statistical Service; some do not yet meet all the quality standards of the Official Statistics Code of Practice; and others have not gone through the required assessment process to be classed as National Statistics. All such tables are clearly marked with explanatory notes. This year UKDS is once again being issued as a web document only, due to financial constraints within the Ministry of Defence. Each table and chapter is available in pdf format which is suitable for printing. There is also a pdf version of the entire publication, and of the UKDS factsheet. We have ceased publication of the UKDS pocket cards this year, since they are of limited value in electronic format.

  • Integrated Helicopter Survivability
    Cranfield University Nicholas G. Law Integrated Helicopter Survivability Aeromechanical Systems Group Cranfield Defence and Security PhD DSTL/PUB36228 Cranfield University Cranfield Defence and Security Aeromechanical Systems Group PhD 2011 Nicholas G. Law Integrated Helicopter Survivability Supervisor: Prof. Kevin Knowles May 2011 © Crown copyright 2011. Published with the permission of the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory on behalf of the Controller of HMSO. DISCLAIMER Any views expressed are those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Dstl, MOD or any other UK government department. ABSTRACT A high level of survivability is important to protect military personnel and equipment and is central to UK defence policy. Integrated Survivability is the systems engineering methodology to achieve optimum survivability at an affordable cost, enabling a mission to be completed successfully in the face of a hostile environment. “Integrated Helicopter Survivability” is an emerging discipline that is applying this systems engineering approach within the helicopter domain. Philosophically the overall survivability objective is ‘zero attrition’, even though this is unobtainable in practice. The research question was: “How can helicopter survivability be assessed in an integrated way so that the best possible level of survivability can be achieved within the constraints and how will the associated methods support the acquisition process?” The research found that principles from safety management could be applied to the survivability problem, in particular reducing survivability risk to as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP). A survivability assessment process was developed to support this approach and was linked into the military helicopter life cycle. This process positioned the survivability assessment methods and associated input data derivation activities.

  • SIPRI Yearbook 2011: Armaments, Disarmament and International
    Appendix 5A. The SIPRI Top 100 arms-producing companies, 2009 SUSAN T. JACKSON* I. Introduction The SIPRI Top 100 lists the world’s 100 largest arms-producing companies (excluding those based in China), ranked by their arms sales. It is a unique data set that allows analysis of developments in worldwide arms production in terms of major arms-producing companies and their adjustments to political and economic contexts and the resulting industrial structures. Section II of this appendix discusses the main trends revealed by the Top 100 for 2009. Section III presents the Top 100 itself, including information on each company’s arms sales in 2008 and 2009, and total sales, profit and employment in 2009 alongside details of the sources and methods used in its compilation. II. Trends in the SIPRI Top 100 Despite the ongoing global economic recession, the total arms sales of the SIPRI Top 100 arms-producing companies in 2009 increased by $14.8 billion to reach $400.7 billion, a real increase of 8 per cent over 2008. The total arms sales of the Top 100 have increased by a total of 58 per cent in real terms since 2002 (see table 5A.1). A year after its onset, the 2008 financial crisis had a mixed impact on indi- vidual companies but did not dampen arms sales overall in 2009.1 In general, the arms sales of companies in the Top 100 remained high, contributing to increases in total national arms sales in 2009 (see table 5A.2). Some countries’ arms industries continued to grow while their overall economic growth fal- tered in 2009.
