These Regulations amend the Charges for Inspections and Controls Regulations 1997 (S.I. 1997/2893) (“the principal Regulations”) which give effect to Article 2, as read with Article 5, of Council Directive 85/73/EEC on the financing of veterinary inspections and controls covered by Directives 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC, 90/675/EEC and 91/496/EEC (OJ No. L32, 30.1.98, p. 14); that Directive was last amended by Council Directive 97/79/EC (OJ No. L24, 30.1.98, p. 31). These Regulations continue to give effect to the requirement in paragraph 1(b) of Annex B to collect the amount corresponding to the actual total cost of undertaking the controls provided for by Council Directive 96/23/EC on measures to monitor certain substances and residues thereof in live animals and animal products and repealing Directive 85/358/EEC and 86/469/EEC and Decisions 89/187/EEC and 91/664/EEC (OJ No. L125, 23.5.96, p. 10).
Regulation 2 amends the fees set in the principal Regulations to provide that the Secretary of State may make arrangements with an organisation for that organisation to pay the Secretary of State the total actual cost incurred by the Secretary of State in undertaking the egg inspections required by Community law. Where no such arrangements are in place, the fee for inspecting eggs remains at £0.0083 per case of 360 eggs, imposed directly on egg packing centres.
