EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Treatment of Spruce Bark Order 1993 by substituting a new Schedule describing the areas in which the movement of spruce bark is prohibited unless treated against the tree pest Dendroctonus micans Kugelann (the Great Spruce Bark Beetle) (article 2).
The spread of Dendroctonus micans is also controlled by the Plant Health (Forestry) (Great Britain) Order 1993 (S.I.1993/1283, amended by S.I.1994/3094, 1995/1989, 1996/751, 1998/2206 and 3109, 2001/295 and 2002/295).
This Order also revokes the Order (S.I.1994/3093) which previously amended the Schedule to the Treatment of Spruce Bark Order 1993 (article 3).
No Regulatory Appraisal has been prepared in respect of this Order.
