Abstract

The Regulations: prohibit the import into Scotland of potatoes which the person importing knows or has reasonable cause to suspect originated in Egypt, unless those potatoes are accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate issued in accordance with the requirements of paragraph 1 of the Annex to the Decision (reg. 3); require potatoes originating in Egypt to be processed only in premises approved by the Scottish Ministers for that purpose (reg. 4); provide that an inspector, who has reasonable grounds for suspecting that regulation 3(1) or 4(1) of the Regulations has been or is likely to be contravened, may exercise certain enforcement powers conferred by article 22 of the Plant Health (Great Britain) Order 1993 (reg. 5); provide that any notice served or power exercised under regulation 5 of the Regulations, where the power to do so is conferred by the Order, has the same effect as if served or exercised under the relevant article of the Order (reg. 5(4) and (6)). Accordingly, once a notice is served or other power is exercised under regulation 5 of the Regulations, the relevant consequential provisions of the Order, including provisions as to offences, take effect; permit an inspector to check that the provisions of the Regulations have been complied with by exercising certain powers conferred by article 25 of the Order (reg. 5(5)).
