EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)


These Regulations amend The Plant Health (Import Inspection Fees) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2005 (S.R. 2005 No. 373) ("the principal Regulations"), which implemented Article 13(d) of Council Directive 2000/29/EC (O.J. No. L 169, 10.7.00, p. 1). This Directive requires Member States to charge fees to cover the costs occasioned by the documentary checks, identity checks and plant health checks of certain import plants, plant products and other objects from third countries.

Schedule 2 to the principal Regulations includes provision for reduced rates of certain plants and plant products agreed under the procedure provided for in Articles 13d(2) and 18(2) of the Directive. These Regulations substitute a new Schedule 2 to the principal Regulations, to give effect to the latest agreement in respect of reduced rate fees.
