Explanatory note

(This note does not form part of the Order) This Order is made under section 13 of the Food Safety Act 1990 in consequence of it appearing to the National Assembly for Wales that the importation into Wales 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, in relation to Wales, Commission Decision 2002/75/EC laying down special conditions on the import from third countries of Star Anise (OJ 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 authorities (article 4); and d applies, with modifications, provisions of the 1990 Act (article 5). No regulatory impact assessment has been prepared in relation to this Order. Due to the time constraints within which this Order had to be made, it was not reasonably practicable to make the Order in both English and Welsh.

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.
