Abstract

The Contaminants in Food (England) Regulations 2002 (S.I. 2002/890) make provision for the execution and enforcement in England of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 466/2001 setting maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs. There is therefore a definition of that Commission Regulation in regulation 2(1) of S.I. 2002/890, which was intended to take account of the amendments to it. That defines "the Commission Regulation" as Commission Regulation (EC) No. 466/2001 as amended by several further Commission Regulations. The amendments to Commission Regulation (EC) No. 466/2001 include those effected by Commission Regulation (EC) No. 563/2002. An error in Commission Regulation (EC) No. 563/2002 necessitated the issue of a corrigendum to it, which was published on 14 June 2002. These Regulations give effect to that corrigendum by amending the definition of "the Commission Regulation" in regulation 2(1) of the Contaminants in Food (England) Regulations 2002. These Regulations also correct an error in the definition of "port health authority" in that regulation.
