Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations) — published with the instrument by the department that made it. © Crown copyright, reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

These Regulations re-implement the provisions concerning the level of the fees to be charged for examinations for the presence of residues contained in Council Directive 85/73EEC (O.J. No. L32, 5.2.85, p. 14) on the financing of health inspections and controls of fresh meat and poultry meat, as amended by Council Directive 93/118/EEC (O.J. No. L340, 31.12.93, p. 15). The Regulations require the Department to make a charge relating to examinations for the presence of residues (regulation 4) and provide for the level of charges (in Euros) to be levied (regulation 5). In addition, the Regulations determine who is liable to pay the charges and provide for their recovery (regulation 6). Before fixing charges under these Regulations the Department is required to give notice of the amount of the proposed charge and to consider any representations made concerning the charge by any person whom it has notified (regulation 7). The Regulations also make provision regarding the supply of information and evidence to the Department for purposes connected with the calculation of charges (regulation 8). Regulation 9 creates offences.

What Parliament said about it

Hansard was searched for this instrument by name and returned nothing. That is the ordinary outcome: an instrument laid under the negative procedure is usually never debated, and becomes law without a word said about it in either House.

How Parliament handled it

Parliament's Statutory Instruments service records procedure from May 2017 onwards, and this instrument predates it. That is a limit of the source, not a statement that nothing happened.
