The Common Agricultural Policy (Wine) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2004

Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations further amend the Common Agricultural Policy (Wine) (Scotland) Regulations 2002 as amended (“the principal Regulations”), which provide for the enforcement of European Community Regulations concerned with the production and marketing of wine and related products.

These Regulations amend the principal Regulations–

(a) by amending the definition of “community provision” to take account of EU enlargement and deleting certain definitions which are now obsolete due to the repeal of the community provisions in question (regulations 3, 5 and 6);

(b) by removing the right of an authorised officer to serve a movement control notice or consent to the movement of wine sector products in relation to which such notice has been served in electronic form (regulation 4);

(c) by updating references to European Community legislation by substituting a new Schedule 6 to the principal Regulations and updating Part II of Schedule 9 (regulations 7 and 8.)

No Regulatory Impact Assessment has been prepared in respect of these Regulations.
