These Regulations remove unnecessary wording from regulation 6(2) of the respective Food Regulations which provide that a notice ordering the re dispatch or destruction of illegal imports has to contain information about the right of appeal. These Regulations also amend regulation 6(3) of the respective Food Regulations in order to ensure that the Magistrates' Court can determine both whether a notice served by an authorised officer under regulation 6(1) has been http://www.hmso.gov.uk/legislation/wales/wsi2004/20040245e.htm#note6 http://www.hmso.gov.uk/legislation/wales/wsi2004/20040245e.htm#note7 http://www.hmso.gov.uk/legislation/wales/wsi2004/20040245e.htm#note8 The Food (Emergency Control) (Miscellaneous Amendments) (Wales) Regulations 2004 file:///D/HTML/uk45021.htm[16.01.2025 11:44:13] Other UK SIs | Home | National Assembly for Wales Statutory Instruments | Scottish Statutory Instruments | Statutory Rules of Northern Ireland | Her Majesty's Stationery Office We welcome your comments on this site © Crown copyright 2004 Prepared 16 February 2004 correctly served and also whether importation of the product in question is lawful. These Regulations also specifically amend the Food (Brazil Nuts) (Emergency Control) (Wales) Regulations 2003 (S.I. 2003/2254 (W.224)). They revise the procedure to be followed when an inspection or examination of Brazil nuts reveals that they do not comply with the maximum levels for aflatoxin B1 and aflatoxin total established by Commission Regulation (EC) No. 466/2001 setting maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs (OJ No. L77, 16.3.2001, p.1) (regulation 2(2)). The revised procedure accords with Commission Decision 2003/493/EC imposing special conditions on the import of Brazil nuts in shell originating or consigned from Brazil (OJ No. L168, 5.7.2003, p.33). These Regulations (regulation 3(4)) also specifically amend the Food (Pistachios from Iran) (Emergency Control) (Wales) (No. 2) Regulations (S.I. 2003/2288 (W.227)) to correct a drafting error. No regulatory appraisal has been prepared in respect of these Regulations.
