This Order amends the Bee Diseases and Pests Control (England) Order 2006 (S.I. 2006/342) (“the 2006 Order”). It makes provision for the enforcement in England of Article 13 of Commission Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 laying down lists of third countries, territories or parts thereof authorised for the introduction into the European Union of certain animals and fresh meat and the veterinary certification requirements (OJ No L 73, 20.3.2010, p1, as read with the Corrigenda published in OJ No L 146, 11.6.2010, p1).
Article 13 of that Regulation imposes conditions that apply following the introduction of certain species of queen bees and bumble bees (Apis mellifera and Bombus spp.) from third countries into England.
This Order also amends article 12(1) of the 2006 Order so that its provisions also apply in cases where notifiable disease is known or suspected.
Breach of the 2006 Order, as amended by this Order, is an offence under section 1(7) of the Bees Act 1980 (c. 12).
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
