The Home-Grown Cereals Authority (“the Authority”) are established by section 1 of the Cereals Marketing Act 1965 (“the Act”).
In accordance with section 13(1) of the Act, the Authority have prepared an estimate of the amount required to be raised by levy for the purposes of the Authority’s functions under Part I of the Act.
The levy is to be imposed on persons specified in the Home-Grown Cereals Authority Levy Scheme 1987 and in the Home-Grown Cereals Authority Oilseeds Levy Scheme 1990 for the period of twelve months beginning on 1st July 2007.
In accordance with section 13(1) of the Act, the Authority have submitted the estimate to the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (“the Secretary of State”), the National Assembly for Wales (“the National Assembly”), the Scottish Ministers and the Northern Ireland Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (“the Northern Ireland Department”).
In accordance with section 13(2) of the Act, the Authority have also submitted, together with the estimate, proposals as to the kinds of home-grown cereals in respect of which a levy should be imposed and as to the apportionment of the amount specified in the estimate as between those kinds of home-grown cereals.
In accordance with section 13(3) of the Act, the Secretary of State and the National Assembly—
(a) have determined that the amount to be raised by levy for the relevant year for such purposes shall be £10,937,000 and that the kinds of home-grown cereals in respect of which the levy is to be imposed for the relevant year shall be wheat (including durum wheat), barley, oats, rye, maize, triticale or any two or more of those cereals grown as one crop, and rapeseed, linseed, soyabean, sunflowerseed or any two or more of those oilseeds grown as one crop; and
(b) have apportioned the amount so determined as between those cereals and those oilseeds so that the amount to be raised by levy in respect of the cereals is £9,333,000 and the amount to be so raised in respect of the oilseeds is £1,604,000 and the rates of levy on each kind of cereal or each kind of oilseed respectively are the same.
Accordingly, the Secretary of State and the National Assembly, acting jointly, in exercise of the powers conferred upon them by sections 13(3) and 23(1) of the Act, and with the consent of the Scottish Ministers and the Northern Ireland Department, make the following Order:
