Abstract

The principal changes effected by these Regulations are that : (a) the previous requirement that each consignment of Iranian pistachios be subjected to systematic sampling and analysis in order to ensure compliance with Commission Decision 1997/830/EC is modified by providing that: (i) a sample of each consignment must be analysed for aflatoxin and total aflatoxin before release onto the market from the point of entry into the Community, (ii) the period of detention should not exceed 15 working days, and (iii) an authorised officer of the relevant enforcement authority must issue a notice in writing stating that sampling has taken place and the results of the analysis of the sample; and (b) an authorised officer of the relevant enforcement authority is empowered (subject to a right of appeal to a magistrates' court) to issue a notice ordering the re-dispatch of illegal imports of Iranian pistachios.
