Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order, which forms part of Scots law only, partially revokes the Food Protection (Emergency Prohibitions) (Radioactivity in Sheep) Order 1991. That Order contains emergency prohibitions restricting various activities in order to prevent human consumption of food which has been, or which may have been, rendered unsuitable for that purpose in consequence of the escape of radioactive substances from a nuclear reactor situated at Chernobyl in the Ukraine.
The effect of this Order is to reduce the area which is subject to restriction.
1985 c. 48; section 1 (which contains a definition of “designating authority”) was amended by the Food Safety Act 1990 (c. 16), section 51, by the Scotland Act 1998 (Modification of Functions) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/1756), Schedule, paragraph 10, by the Food Standards Act 1999 (c. 28), Schedule 5, paragraph 6 and by the Scotland Act 1998 (Consequential Modifications) Order 2000 (S.I. 2000/2040), Schedule, paragraph 12.
