Food (Brazil Nuts) (Emergency Control) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2003 (S.I. No. 2988 of 2003).

These Regulations bring the rules governing the re-dispatch of consignments of Brazil nuts which are found to have excessive levels of aflatoxin B1 and aflatoxin total into line with the requirements of Article 6 of Commission Decision 2003/493/EC imposing special conditions on the import of Brazil nuts in shell originating in or consigned from Brazil. These Regulations remove unnecessary wording from the provision in S.I. 2003/1722 which provides that a notice ordering the re-dispatch or destruction of illegal imports of Brazil nuts has to contain information about the right of appeal. These Regulations also revise regulation 6(3) of S.I. 2003/1722 to clarify that on an appeal to a magistrates' court against a notice ordering the re-dispatch or destruction of illegal imports of Brazil nuts the court must uphold the notice or set it aside.
