Abstract

These Regulations implement Article 13d of Council Directive 2000/29/EC on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community. Article 13d requires member States to collect fees for documentary, identity and plant health checks carried out on certain consignments of wood, wood products and isolated bark originating in countries outside the European Union. Specifies fees shall be paid to the Welsh Ministers. They include, among other things: fees specified in Schedule 1 for inspections in connection with an authority to issue plant passports under article 28 of the Plant Health (Forestry) Order 2005; fees on plant health checks and documentary checks and identity checks on controlled consignments; and fees for the carrying out or monitoring of remedial work by an inspector under the Plant Health (Forestry) Order 2005 in connection with controlled consignments.
