Abstract

This Order places certain notification requirements upon persons importing potatoes from Germany which have been grown after 2000. It requires importers bringing such potatoes into Northern Ireland on or after 11 February 2002 to give at least two days' notice in writing to an inspector of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, providing specified details as to, inter alia, the landing and intended use of the potatoes (art. 3(1)). The Order provides that an inspector who has reasonable grounds for suspecting a contravention of its provisions may exercise in respect of German potatoes certain enforcement powers conferred by articles 22, 23 and 25 of the Plant Health Order (Northern Ireland) 1993.
