Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order revokes the Food (Star Anise from Third Countries) (Emergency Control) (England) Order 2002 (S.I. 2002/334), which prohibited the import of Star Anise and Japanese Star Anise into England unless certain conditions were complied with. The Food (Star Anise from Third Countries) (Emergency Control) (England) Order 2002 implemented 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). That Decision was repealed by Commission Decision 2003/602/EC (OJ No. L204, 13.8.2003, p. 60).

No regulatory impact assessment has been prepared in relation to this Order.
