Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations revoke and remake the Plant Health (Import Inspection Fees) (England) Regulations 2006 (S.I. 2006/1879).
These Regulations implement Article 13d of Council Directive 2000/29/EC (OJ No L 169, 10.7.2000, p1) (“the Directive”) which requires Member States to charge fees to cover the costs of documentary, identity and plant health checks of certain imports of plants, plant products and other objects from third countries set out in Annex V, Part B of the Directive. Regulation 3 describes the consignments to which these Regulations apply.
An importer is required to pay to the Secretary of State, upon import of a consignment to which these Regulations apply, the fee for the plant health check in Schedule 1 or the reduced rate fee for the plant health check in Schedule 2 (regulation 4(1)(a)). Schedule 2 includes reduced rate fees due to come into effect on 1st January 2011. Higher fees are payable where checks are carried out outside daytime working hours. In addition, an importer is required to pay the fees specified in Schedule 3 for documentary and identity checks (regulation 4(1)(b)).
The changes to the fees made by these Regulations and a Transposition Note showing the implementation of the relevant provisions of the Directive are available in the Explanatory Memorandum which is available alongside the instrument on the OPSI website.
It is foreseen that these Regulations will have an impact on the private or voluntary sectors, but a full impact assessment has not been produced as the effect of the Regulations is to change the level of fees to bring them into line with standard fees specified in or agreed in accordance with the Directive.
