- Should we scrap them altogether?
- Could their purpose be achieved in a non-regulatory way (eg through a voluntary code?) How?
- Could they be reformed, simplified or merged? How?
- Can we reduce their bureaucracy through better implementation? How?
- Can we make their enforcement less burdensome? How?
- Should they be left as they are?
I m a black powder shooter of 45 years and obviously have always had a Police Explosives Licence. Recently I have had to apply to the HSE for a “Recipient Competent Authority Transfer Document ” as well as an Explosives Licence. This extra EU document consists of nothing more than a matrix of meaningless numbers. I am a Registered Firearms Dealer – I have no idea what this “Transfer Document” is, or what it means – neither do countless other dealers and black powder shooters that I have spoken to. The Recipient Competent Authority Transfer Document raises meaningless EU documentation to a truly stellar level. It achieves nothing, means nothing to those to whom it is issued, and is a good example of the UK gold-plating EU directives. This insane doument should not be applied to private indivduals’ use of black powder.Comment Tags: Authority, Competent, Document, Recipient, Transfer
