Compliance notices13
1
If an authorised officer has reasonable grounds for believing that any person is contravening, or has contravened, a European poultrymeat provision, the authorised officer may, by notice (a “compliance notice”), require a person to take steps (or steps at least equivalent to them), within such period as the authorised officer may specify, to secure that the contravention does not continue or recur.

A compliance notice must—
a
state the authorised officer’s grounds for the belief;
b
specify the matter that constitutes the contravention of the European poultrymeat provision;
c
specify the activities that must stop, or the steps that must be taken in order to comply with the European poultrymeat provision;
d
state the period within which an activity must stop, or steps specified in the notice, or steps at least equivalent to them, must be taken;
e
state the right of appeal to the sheriff conferred by regulation 14; and
f
state the period within which such an appeal must be brought.
