Safeguard measures
This section has no associated Explanatory Notes
19.—(1) Where the Scottish Ministers identify a risk of the type described in Article 15 (safeguard clause) in relation to a fertiliser they may, by notice served on the person whom they consider to be in charge of the fertiliser, direct that person to take such action for mitigation or elimination of the risk as is specified in the direction.
(2) If the Scottish Ministers consider that a direction should be given to a number of persons and that the most efficient way of bringing it quickly to their attention would be publicising it by other means then the direction may be given to them by publicising it by those other means.
(3) Any person who fails to comply with a direction shall be guilty of an offence unless the direction has been withdrawn.
(4) In any proceedings for an offence under paragraph (3) it shall be a defence for the person charged to show that they were–
(a)not in charge of the fertiliser; or
(b)not aware of the direction.
