  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\n1 These Regulations (which extend to England only) amend the Meat (Hygiene and Inspection) (Charges) Regulations 1998 (S.I. 1998/2095) in their application to England. Those Regulations implemented in Great Britain the provisions relating to charges for meat inspections of Council Directive 85/73/EEC, an amended and consolidated text of which is annexed to Council Directive 96/43/EC (OJ No. L162, 1.7.96, p. 1).\n2 The amendments have effect to permit charges to be made for the carrying out of health inspections at re-packaging centres (as defined in regulation 2(1) of the Fresh Meat (Hygiene and Inspection) Regulations 1995 (S.I. 1995/539, as amended)).\n3 The amendments also have effect to allow the Minister to withdraw inspection services where (despite a court order requiring him to pay the inspection charges for which he is liable under S.I. 1998/2095) the occupier of licensed premises fails to comply with the order.\n4 A regulatory impact assessment has been prepared for these Regulations and placed in the library of each House of Parliament. Copies of that assessment can be obtained from the Meat Hygiene Division of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Ergon House, 17 Smith Square, London SW1P 3JR.",
