EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

Part 1 of these Regulations makes provision for a regime to determine the frequency rates of physical checks and identity checks of consignments of certain plants, plant products and other objects entering Great Britain from a third country, including for the modification of those frequency rates. The plants, plant products and other objects are those for which a phytosanitary certificate is required for entry into Great Britain and which have been assessed as posing an actual or potential threat to plant biosecurity.

Part 2 revokes Part 6 of the Official Controls, Plant Health, Seeds and Seed Potatoes (Amendment etc.) Regulations 2021 (S.I. 2021/426).

A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant impact on the private or voluntary sector is foreseen.
