EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations are made in exercise of the powers conferred by paragraphs 1(1) and (3) and 11M(1) of schedule 2, paragraph 7 of schedule 4 and paragraph 21 of schedule 7 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (c.16) (“the 2018 Act”).

These Regulations make amendments to legislation in the field of plant health as it applies in Scotland. In particular they make provision in order to address failures of retained EU law to operate effectively and other deficiencies arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union and to deal with matters arising out of, or related to, the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland in the EU withdrawal agreement. They also make modifications in consequence of the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union to certain fees payable to the Scottish Ministers in relation to inspections of imports of plants, plant products or other objects.

Regulation 2 amends the Plant Health (Import Inspection Fees) (Scotland) Regulations 2014 and in particular substitutes a new regulation 4 into those Regulations which makes provision for—

a)

a fee payable for a physical check under schedule 1 by an importer in respect of a consignment of plants, plant products or other objects excepting consignments from the European Union, Liechtenstein or Switzerland,

b)
