Products of Animal Origin (Third Country Imports) (Scotland) Amendment (No. 2) Regulations 2003 (S.S.I. No. 225 of 2003).

These Regulations amend the principal Regulations as follows: regulation 2(4) inserts a new regulation 12A which provides that the Scottish Ministers, the Commissioners of Customs and Excise, any local authority and the Food Standards Agency may exchange information amongst themselves and share information with the enforcement agencies in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Regulation 2(6) substitutes a new regulation for regulation 16 of the principal Regulations. The new regulation 16 provides that the prohibition on the introduction into Scotland of products of animal origin (except at border inspection posts) shall be enforced at points of entry by the Commissioners instead of the local authority. Regulation 2(7) amends regulation 28 of the principal Regulations to provide that the Commissioners may charge the costs of redispatching or destroying a product or consignment to the person on whom a notification of seizure has been served.
