EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations.)


These Regulations implement in Northern Ireland Commission Decision 2000/568/EC (O.J. No. L.238, 22.9.2000, p. 59) amending Decision 96/301/EC authorising member States temporarily to take emergency measures against the dissemination of Pseudomonas solanacearum (Smith) Smith as regards Egypt.

The Regulations amend the definition of "the Decision" in the Potatoes Originating in Egypt Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1998 (regulation 2(1)). Commission Decision 2000/568/EC renews the framework within which potatoes may be imported from Egypt into the territory of the European Community.

No regulatory appraisal has been prepared in respect of these Regulations.
