EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Organic Products Regulations 2009 (S.I. 2009/842) (“the 2009 Regulations”). They extend to the United Kingdom.
Regulation 2 amends regulations 7, 8 and 22 of the 2009 Regulations, to take account of the fact that controls for the purposes of the EU organics legislation may be made at a place other than where a consignment first enters EU territory. The relevant EU legislation is Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 (OJ No L 189, 20.7.2007, p. 1), and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 (OJ L 334, 12.12.2008, p. 25).
Regulation 2 also raises the fee currently provided for in regulation 10 of the 2009 Regulations from £150 to £182, and corrects minor drafting errors.
A full impact assessment of the effect that this instrument will have on the costs of business, the voluntary sector and the public sector is available from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Organic Team, 9 Millbank c/o Nobel House, Horseferry Road, London SW1P 3JR.
