(c)publish the report.
(2) In carrying out the review the Secretary of State must, so far as is reasonable, have regard to how the Directive is implemented in other member States.
(3) The report must, in particular—
(a)set out the objectives intended to be achieved by the regulatory system established by these Regulations;
(b)assess the extent to which those objectives are achieved; and
(c)assess whether those objectives remain appropriate and, if so, the extent to which they could be achieved by a system that imposes less regulation.
(4) The first report under this regulation must be published before the end of the period of five years beginning on the commencement date.
(5) Reports under this regulation are afterwards to be published at intervals not exceeding five years.
88.—(1) Nothing in these Regulations prevents the making available on the market or putting into service of pressure equipment or assemblies which—
(a)were placed on the market before the commencement date; and
(b)are in conformity with the 1999 Regulations.
(2) Nothing in these Regulations prevents the putting into service of pressure equipment and assemblies which—
(a)were placed on the market before 30th May 2002; and
(b)comply with any provisions with which they would have been required to comply in order for them to be placed on the market in the United Kingdom on 28th November 1999.
89. For the purposes of these Regulations, a certificate issued, or approval granted, by a notified body, recognised third party organisation or user inspectorate under the 1999 Regulations, or any enactment of another member State which implemented Directive 97/23/EC(1), is to be treated as a certificate issued or approval granted under Annex II to the Directive (as amended from time to time).
90.—(1) Subject to paragraph (2), the 1999 Regulations are revoked.
(2) The Regulations referred to in paragraph (1) continue to apply, as if they had not been revoked, to pressure equipment or assemblies placed on the market before the commencement date.
