The Scottish Ministers make the following Order in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 2, 3 and 4(1) of the Plant Health Act 1967(1) and section 20 of the Agriculture (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1972(2) and all other powers enabling them to do so.
This Order makes provision which the Scottish Ministers think expedient for preventing the introduction and spread of pests in Scotland, in particular Candidatus Phytoplasma ulmi (Elm yellows), and is in part called for by EU obligations contained in Commission Implementing Directive 2014/19/EU(3) amending Annex I to Council Directive 2000/29/EC on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community.
1967 c.8. Sections 2(1) and 3(1) were amended by the European Communities Act 1972 (c.68), section 4(1) and Schedule 4, paragraph 8 and further amended by S.I. 2011/1043. Section 3(4) was substituted by the Criminal Justice Act 1982 (c.48), section 42 and the Statute Law (Repeals) Act 1993 (c.50), section 1(1) and Schedule 1, Part XIV. There are other amendments which are not relevant to this Order. The functions of the Secretary of State, so far as exercisable within devolved competence, were transferred to the Scottish Ministers by virtue of section 53 of the Scotland Act 1998 (c.46).
