Regulation 13 Compliance notices
Scotland
If an authorised officer has reasonable grounds for believing that any person is contravening, or has contravened, F1an assimilated poultrymeat provision, the authorised officer may, by notice (a “compliance notice”), require a person to take steps (or steps at least equivalent to them), within such period as the authorised officer may specify, to secure that the contravention does not continue or recur.
A compliance notice must—
state the authorised officer's grounds for the belief;
specify the matter that constitutes the contravention of the F2assimilated poultrymeat provision;
specify the activities that must stop, or the steps that must be taken in order to comply with the F3assimilated poultrymeat provision;
state the period within which an activity must stop, or steps specified in the notice, or steps at least equivalent to them, must be taken;
state the right of appeal to the sheriff conferred by regulation 14; and
state the period within which such an appeal must be brought.
