Section 39(4), as amended by section 175 of the Criminal Justice and Licensing (Scotland) Act 2010, provides that a street trader’s licence cannot be granted by the licensing authority unless there is produced to them a certificate by the food authority (which, under section 5(2) of the Food Safety Act 1990, means, in Scotland, a local authority) stating that the vehicle, kiosk or moveable stall complies with such requirements as the Scottish Ministers may specify.

Article 2 of this Order specifies that the requirements referred to in section 39(4) of the 1982 Act are the requirements of certain EU provisions which are listed in Schedule 2 to the Food Hygiene (Scotland) Regulations 2006.
