(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations revoke the Poultry Breeding Flocks, Hatcheries and Animal By Products (Fees) (Scotland) Order 2002.
They make provision for the Scottish Ministers to charge fees for activities required under Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1003/2005, Regulation (EC) No. 2160/2003, and the Animal By-Products (Scotland) Regulations 2003. The activities are listed in regulation 3(1).
A Regulatory Impact Assessment, which includes a compliance cost assessment of the effect that these Regulations are likely to have on business costs, has been prepared and placed in the Scottish Parliament Information Centre. Copies can be obtained from the Scottish Government Rural Directorate, Pentland House, 47 Robb’s Loan, Edinburgh EH14 1TY.
