(This Note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Imported Food and Feedingstuffs (Safeguards against Cholera) Regulations 1991 (“the 1991 Regulations”) in consequence of Commission Decisions 92/147 EEC (OJ No. L61 p.27) and 92/356/EEC (OJ No. L192 p.69).
The Regulations extend the provisions of the 1991 Regulations by prohibiting the importation into Great Britain of aquaculture products and non heat-treated bivalve molluscs from Brazil (regulation 2(10)).
Subject to that prohibition the Regulations allow the importation into Great Britain of fish products and bivalve molluscs from Brazil provided requirements as to certification and inspection are followed (regulation 2(10), (13) and (14)).
Subject to the same prohibition the Regulations allow the importation into Great Britain of fish products and bivalve molluscs from Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru if caught by vessels of the United Kingdom or of other member States and consigned to the Territory of the European Economic Community under the customs procedure introduced by Commission Regulations (EEC) No. 137/79 (regulation 2(6), (9) and (10)).
