Résumé

This Order contains emergency prohibitions restricting various activities in order to prevent human consumption of food rendered unsuitable for that purpose by virtue of shellfish having been affected by the toxin which causes diarrhetic shellfish poisoning in human beings. The Order designates an area of sea off the east coast of Scotland within which the taking of scallops is prohibited (arts. 3 and 4 and the Schedule). It prohibits the movement of scallops out of the area (art. 5). Other restrictions are imposed in relation to the use of any scallops taken from the area (art. 6). It is an offence by virtue of section 1(6) of the Food and Environment Protection Act 1985 as read with Schedule 1, paragraph 4 to the Act as inserted by paragraph 10(13) of the Schedule to the Scotland Act 1998 (Modification of Functions) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/1756), to contravene any of the prohibitions contained in this Order anywhere in the United Kingdom or in United Kingdom waters.
