F1EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Plant Health (Fees) (Forestry) Regulations 2006 (S.I. 2006/2697) (“the principal Regulations”).
The principal Regulations implement Article 13d of Council Directive 2000/29/EC 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). Article 13d requires member States to collect fees for checks carried out on consignments of wood, wood product, and isolated bark.
Under the principal Regulations an importer is required to pay, in respect of consignments to which regulation 3(6) applies, the fees specified in Schedule 3 for plant health checks and the fees specified in Schedule 4 for documentary checks and identity checks that are carried out on those consignments (regulation 3(4)). These Regulations amend Schedule 3 so as to increase the fees for plant health checks from £12.25 to £26 per consignment. They amend Schedule 4 to increase the fees for documentary checks from £5.29 to £6 per consignment and for identity checks from £5.29 to £6 and (for bulk loads of 100m3 or more) £10.58 to £12 per consignment. In addition these Regulations amend Schedule 3 to provide that the fees to be applied to wood in the form of shavings, chips and sawdust are the same as the fees applied to isolated bark.
An impact assessment has been prepared and placed in the Library of each House of Parliament. Copies can be obtained from the Forestry Commission, 231 Corstorphine Road, Edinburgh, EH12 7AT.

Impact Assessments
Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:
- Why the government is proposing to intervene;
- The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
- How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
- The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
