Abstract

The Council's functions include the keeping of a register of producers and first purchasers, the receipt of annual returns from producers and first purchasers, and the levying of certain charges upon producers and first purchasers. The main change effected by the present Order is to extend the obligations and responsibilities of first purchasers under the principal Order to anyone now qualifying as a "subsequent purchaser". For this purpose a subsequent purchaser is anyone carrying on business in the potato industry who buys in a year at least 100 tons of raw potatoes where those potatoes have previously been sold or delivered to an agent, but does not include either a catering establishment or a retail seller of potatoes. In addition, this Order introduces an evidential presumption of the validity of an approval or consent given by Ministers for the purposes of the principal Order where there is certain documentary confirmation that it was given by them (art. 8).
