These Regulations amend the Plant Health (Fees) (Forestry) Regulations 2006 (S.I. 2006/2697) (“the principal Regulations”) and implement Article 13d(2) of Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8th May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (OJ No. L 169, 10.7.2000, p.1) (“the Directive”). Articles 13a(2), 13d(2) and 18(2) of the Directive provide for reduced plant health check fees to be charged for imports of certain consignments of wood, such fees being levied whether or not the consignments are subject to a plant health check. The fees, and the consignments to which they apply, are specified in Schedule 3A to the principal Regulations, as inserted by these Regulations.
