(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Plant Health (Scotland) Order 2005 (S.S.I. 2005/613) (“the principal Order”) to implement certain import restrictions on certain plant species, other than seeds, intended for planting, originating in any third country to prevent the introduction into Scotland of Anoplophora chinensis (Forster) (the citrus longhorn beetle).
In particular, this Order amends the principal Order so as–
to clarify the scientific name for citrus longhorn beetle as Anoplophora chinensis (Forster) (article 5);
to prohibit imports of certain plant species originating in any third country where Anoplophora chinensis (Forster) is known to occur unless certain conditions are met (article 6(1)(b)); and
to require such plant species originating in such third countries or in the European Community to have a plant passport before being moved within the Community (articles 6(2)(b) and 7).
It is an offence under the principal Order to contravene these requirements.
This Order also corrects the effect of minor typographical errors in the Plant Health (Scotland) Amendment Order 2008 (S.S.I. 2008/300) (“the amending Order”):
Article 4 of this Order amends article 41(7)(b) of the principal Order to make clear that references to Commission Directive 2008/61/EC (O.J. No L 158, 18.6.2008) are to refer to that Directive as amended from time to time.
Articles 6(1)(a) and 6(2)(a) of this Order correct the effect of a typographical error in articles 11 and 13 of the amending Order.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
