# The Plant Health (Fees) (Forestry) (Great Britain) (Amendment) Regulations 1999, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations, which come into force on 6th April 1999, amend the Plant Health (Fees) (Forestry) (Great Britain) Regulations 1996 (as amended).
These Regulations amend the 1996 Regulations to insert definitions of “Class A specified wood” and “Class B specified wood”, replace the definition of “specified wood or isolated bark” with a definition of “specified isolated bark” and make a consequential amendment to the definition of “relevant corresponding conditions” (regulation 2(2)).
These Regulations prescribe that the fees for inspection of Class A specified wood and specified isolated bark are 14 pence per cubic metre (the fees for inspection of specified wood and isolated bark were 12 pence per cubic metre) and that the minimum fee per inspection is £11.50 (the minimum fee per inspection was £10) (regulation 2(3) and Schedule).
These Regulations prescribe a fee for remedial work carried out on Class B specified wood at the same level as the fee for Class A specified wood and specified isolated bark (regulation 2(3) and Schedule).
A Regulatory Impact Assessment in relation to these Regulations has been placed in the libraries of both Houses of Parliament, and copies can be obtained from the Plant Health Service of the Forestry Commission, 231 Corstorphine Road, Edinburgh EH12 7AT.
