Abstract

This Order increases the thresholds of production and purchasing above which producers and purchasers must register with the British Potato Council and pay a levy (art. 3). It provides for additional details to be entered on the register of producers and purchasers in the case of companies (art. 4). It allows for estimates based on the previous year's figures, which are used in cases where returns are not provided as required, to be increased by up to 10 percent (art. 5). The Order increases the maximum levy payable by producers per hectare and enables a higher charge (subject to the specified maximum rates) to be imposed on producers and purchasers who fail to pay by the due date for the purpose of recouping additional costs incurred as a result (art. 6).
