Plant Health (Scotland) Amendment (No. 2) Order 1999 (S.S.I. No. 129 of 1999).

This Order amends the Plant Health (Great Britain) Order 1993 in its application to Scotland. It adjusts the requirements which apply to certain plants originating and moving within a protected zone, within the scope permitted by Commission Directive 93/51/EC establishing rules for movements of certain plants, plant products or other objects through a protected zone, and for movements of such plants, plant products or other objects originating in and moving within such a protected zone. The principal changes introduced by this Order, are: (a) certain plants originating and moving within specified protected zones must be accompanied by a plant passport (art. 3)); (b) the exemption applicable to certain plants specified in Part B of Schedule 4 from relevant special requirements is ended (art. 3), and; (c) the authority to issue plant passports may be conferred on the basis of a satisfactory survey (art. 4).
