(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order revokes the Food (Star Anise from Third Countries) (Emergency Control) (Scotland) Order 2002 (S.S.I. 2002/64), which prohibited the import of star anise and Japanese star anise into Scotland unless certain conditions were complied with. That Order implemented Commission Decision 2002/75/EC laying down special conditions on the import from third countries of star anise (O.J. No. L 33, 2.2.02, p.31).

The Commission concluded that the conditions attaching to the import of star anise under Commission Decision 2002/75/EC are no longer justified and that Decision was repealed by Commission Decision 2003/602/EC (O.J. No. L 204, 13.8.03, p.60). This Order implements Commission Decision 2003/602/EC.

No regulatory impact assessment has been prepared in relation to this Order.
