Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order.)

This Order revokes the Food (Star Anise from Third Countries) (Emergency Control) Order (Northern Ireland) 2002 (S.R. 2002 No. 82), which prohibited the import of Star Anise and Japanese Star Anise unless certain conditions were complied with. The Food (Star Anise from Third Countries) (Emergency Control) Order (Northern Ireland) 2002 implemented 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). That Decision was repealed by Commission Decision 2003/602/EC (O.J. No. L204, 13.8.2003, p. 60).
