The Channel Tunnel (International Arrangements) Order 1993
This Order gives qualified effect in United Kingdom law to material provisions (set out in Schedule 2) of the Protocol mentioned in article 1. Those provisions (“the international articles”) are by article 3(1) given the force of law in the United Kingdom within, and for the purposes specified in article 2(2) outside, the tunnel system as defined in the Channel Tunnel Act 1987 and the control zone accorded to France by the international articles (“the French control zone”); article 3(2) affirms that French officers may to the extent specified in the international articles go about their business (essentially, the operation of French frontier controls as defined in the international articles) in the United Kingdom, and article 3(3) ensures that they can be provided with the necessary facilities.Article 4(1), by extending relevant enactments to the control zone accorded to the United Kingdom in France (“the United Kingdom control zone”), performs the corresponding operation for British officers working there.Article 4(2) and (3) alters the application of the Data Protection Act 1984 so that related computer operations carried out by British officers in the United Kingdom control zone are, but French computer operations in the French control zone are not, subject to that Act.
