L'înformâtion et les sèrvices publyis pouor I'Île dé Jèrri

Customs and Excise (Jersey) Law 1999 (Appointed Day) (No. 2) Act 200-.

A formal published “Ministerial Decision” is required as a record of the decision of a Minister (or an Assistant Minister where they have delegated authority) as they exercise their responsibilities and powers.

Ministers are elected by the States Assembly and have legal responsibilities and powers as “corporation sole” under the States of Jersey Law 2005 by virtue of their office and in their areas of responsibility, including entering into agreements, and under any legislation conferring on them powers.

An accurate record of “Ministerial Decisions” is vital to effective governance, including:

  • demonstrating that good governance, and clear lines of accountability and authority, are in place around decisions-making – including the reasons and basis on which a decision is made, and the action required to implement a decision

  • providing a record of decisions and actions that will be available for examination by States Members, and Panels and Committees of the States Assembly; the public, organisations, and the media; and as a historical record and point of reference for the conduct of public affairs

Ministers are individually accountable to the States Assembly, including for the actions of the departments and agencies which discharge their responsibilities.

The Freedom of Information Law (Jersey) Law 2011 is used as a guide when determining what information is be published. While there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

CUSTOMS AND IMMIGRATION SERVICE

Customs and Excise ( Jersey ) Law 1999 (Appointed Day)(No.2) Act 200-

The Customs and Excise (Jersey) Law 1999 was adopted by the States on 13th day of April 1999, sanctioned by Order of Her Majesty in Council of the 24th day of November 1999 and registered in the Royal Court on 24th day of December 1999.

The Law came into force on the first day of November 2000 with the exception of the following provisions -

(a) Article 19; and

(b) those parts of Part I of the Fourth Schedule that relate to the repeal of the Import and Export (Control) (Jersey) Law 1946.

The Island, via the Minister for Home Affairs, controls the import and export of items that are not the subject of specific legislation by an order made under the Import and Export (Control) (Jersey) Law 1946. The latest order is the Import and Export Control (Jersey) (Order) 1992

The 1992 Order controls imports and/or exports by setting a licensing regime for restricted goods. These goods are listed in the Schedules to the 1992 Order and it is an offence to import or export them, as the case may be, without a licence issued either by the Minister or the Agent of the Impôts.

Article 19 of the Customs and Excise (Jersey) Law 1999 was intended to replace the 1946 Law and allow an order to be made under the 1999 Law. However on the advice of the Attorney General Article 19 was not enacted at the same time as the rest of the Law due to potential problems with certain legal technicalities. These potential problems have now been resolved

The Customs and Excise (Jersey) Law 1999 (Appointed Day)(No. 2) Act 200- will bring into force Article 19 together with the part of the Fourth Schedule to that Law that relates to the repeal of the Import and Export (Control) (Jersey) Law 1946.

The Customs and Excise (Import and Export Control)(Jersey) Order 2006 will revoke and replace the 1992 Order and will come into force on the same day as Article 19 of the Customs and Excise (Jersey) Law 1999.
