Abstract

These Regulations, which extend to Wales only, implement Commission Decision 2002/79/EC imposing special conditions on the import of peanuts and certain products derived from peanuts originating in or consigned from China. The categories of products which are subject to those conditions are specified in Article 1.1 of Decision 2002/79/EC. The Regulations: (a) prohibit the importation of "controlled Chinese peanuts" (defined in reg. 2(1)), except where: (i) they are accompanied by a Chinese Government health certificate and the results of official sampling and analysis, the importation takes place only through a specified point of entry and the consignment is identified with a code corresponding with that specified on the health certificate and on the accompanying report containing the sampling and analysis results; or (ii) (even though they are not accompanied by a Chinese Government health certificate or the results of official sampling and analysis) they left China before 11 March 2002, the operator shows, by means of sampling and analysis in the prescribed manner, that the levels of aflatoxin B1 and total aflatoxin in the products do not exceed the maximum permitted levels and the importation takes place only through a specified point of entry ( regs. 2 and 3); (b) specify the enforcement authorities ( reg. 4); and (c) apply, with modifications, provisions of the Food Safety Act 1990 ( reg. 5).
