Abstract

This Order, which extends to Scotland only, places certain notification requirements upon persons who import potatoes which have been grown in the Republic of Poland during 2003 or subsequently. The Order requires persons who import such potatoes into Scotland on or after a specified date to give at least 48 hours prior written notice to an inspector, providing specified information as to the landing and intended use of the potatoes. The Order further provides that an inspector who has reasonable grounds for suspecting that article 3 of the Order 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. Any notice served or power exercised under article 4 of this Order, where the power to do so is conferred by the principal Order, has the same effect as if served or exercised under the relevant article of the principal Order. Accordingly, once a notice is served or other power is exercised under article 4 of the Order, the relevant consequential provisions of the principal Order, including provisions as to offences, take effect, including the power to recover costs for failure to comply with the notice.
