Abstract

This Order places certain notification requirements upon persons importing into Wales potatoes originating from the Netherlands which have been grown during 2004 or later. Article 3 requires any person importing relevant potatoes into Wales in the course of business, to give at least two days' notice of such importation, in writing, to an authorized inspector of the National Assembly for Wales. Such persons are also required to furnish an inspector with certain other information concerning the importation including when and where the relevant potatoes are to be brought into Wales. Article 3 also requires persons who imported into Wales seed potatoes originating in the Netherlands after 1 September 2004 but before the coming into force of this Order, to provide to an authorized inspector specified information of a similar nature, by no later than 3 May 2005. Article 4 provides authorized inspectors with powers for the purpose of enforcing this Order and also ensuring compliance with the Plant Health (Great Britain) Order 1993. Article 5 provides that a person is guilty of an offence if, without reasonable excuse, he or she contravenes or fails to comply with a requirement of article 3 or he or she intentionally obstructs an authorized inspector or any person authorized by an inspector in exercise of his or her powers under article 4.
