Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations which apply to England and Wales, re-enact the provision for charging contained in the Milk and Dairies and Milk (Special Designation) (Charges) Regulations 1990 (S.I. 1990/1584) which were revoked by the Dairy Products (Hygiene) Regulations 1995 (S.I. 1995/1086).

The amounts of the charges are the same as those that were recoverable under the revoked 1990 Regulations namely, £94 for a general dairy farm visit and £63 for a sampling dairy farm visit. Exemptions from charges (other than in relation to public health) are restricted to specified sampling dairy farm visits and are similar to those granted by the revoked 1990 Regulations.

A compliance cost assessment has been prepared in relation to these Regulations and deposited in the libraries of both Houses of Parliament. Copies may be obtained from:
