This Order is made under Article 12 of the Food Safety (Northern Ireland) Order 1991 in consequence of it appearing to the Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety that the importation of certain Star Anise consigned from countries which are not member States of the European Community may involve imminent risk of injury to health. The Order also implements Commission Decision 2002/75/EC laying down special conditions on the import from third countries of Star Anise (O.J. No. L33, 2.2.2002, p. 31). The Order— a prohibits the importation of “Star Anise for human consumption” consigned from countries which are not member States of the European Community except where it is accompanied by health certificates completed by the competent authority of the exporting third country and a report on the results of official sampling and analysis undertaken in that country, the importation takes place only through specified points of entry and the consignment is identified with a code corresponding with that specified on the health certificate and in the sampling and analysis results (Articles 2 and 3(1)); b prohibits the importation of “Japanese Star Anise” intended for human consumption or which is not labelled to the effect that it is unfit for such use (Articles 2 and 3(2)); c specifies the enforcement authority (Article 4); and d applies, with modifications, provisions of the 1991 Order (Article 5).
