Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations, which extend to Wales only, amend the Food (Figs, Hazelnuts and Pistachios from Turkey) (Emergency Control) (Wales) Regulations 2002 (“the principal Regulations”) which implement Commission Decision 2002/80/EC imposing special conditions on the import of figs, hazelnuts and pistachios and certain products derived thereof originating in or consigned from, Turkey (OJ No. L34, 5.2.2002, p.26) as amended by Commission Decision 2002/233/EC (OJ No. L78, 21.3.2002, p.14). The categories of products which are subject to those conditions are specified in Article 1.1 of Decision 2002/80/EC.

The Regulations amend regulation 3 of the principal Regulations to clarify that the two conditions imposed by regulation 3 are cumulative.

No regulatory appraisal has been prepared in relation to these Regulations.

These Regulations have been made in English only as, given the urgency with which they have had to be made, it was not reasonably practicable in the time available to produce a Welsh text.
