It continues to allow (with a corrected reference) control bodies to permit the use of non-organic seed and seed potatoes in accordance with Article 45 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 on organic production and labelling of organic products with regard to organic production, labelling and control (OJ No L 250, 18.9.2008, p 1).\nParagraph 3 revokes the power of the Secretary of State to charge fees for import authorisations.\nParagraph 4 raises the fee which the Secretary of State may charge a person who has applied for approval as a control body.\nAn impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sectors is foreseen.",
