Percentage of UK versus EU imports (FOI)

Request

Please can you provide the average percentage of the proportion of imports coming from the UK and the EU since 2000? If there is more specific information available, please provide a break down by year or whatever time period interval is deemed most appropriate.

Response

The requested information is not recorded by Jersey Customs and Immigration in a readily reportable manner. Compilation of the requested data would therefore require manual intervention and review of all files – such compilation would take in excess of the 12.5 hours allotted to Freedom of Information requests under the freedom of Information (Costs) (Jersey) Regulations 2014.

The information you have requested may be held by the Ports of Jersey. Whilst the Ports of Jersey are not a scheduled Public Authority for the purposes of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011, you might wish to send your information request in writing to: ask@ports.je or to: Ports of Jersey, St Peter, Jersey, JE1 1BY

Article Applied

Article 16 A scheduled public authority may refuse to supply information if cost excessive

(1) A scheduled public authority that has been requested to supply information may refuse to supply the information if it estimates that the cost of doing so would exceed an amount determined in the manner prescribed by Regulations.

Regulation 2 (1) of the Freedom of Information (Costs) (Jersey) Regulations 2014 allows an authority to refuse a request for information where the estimated cost of dealing with the request would exceed the specified amount of the cost limit of £500. This is the estimated cost of one person spending 12.5 working hours in determining whether the department holds the information, locating, retrieving and extracting the information.
