Plant Health (Plant Passport Fees) (Wales) Regulations 2007 No. 1765 (W. 154) OPSI - Plant Health (Plant Passport Fees) (Wales) Regulations
Summary: These Regulations, which apply in relation to Wales, prescribe fees in respect of inspections carried out for the purpose of conferring authority to issue plant passports (including check of business records) under either the Plant Health (Wales) Order 2006 (S.I. 2006/1643 (W. 158)) or the Plant Health (Phytophthora ramorum) (Wales) Order 2006 (S.I. 2004/1344 (W. 134)) ("the Orders").
Under the Orders, certain listed plants, certain plant products and other objects require a plant passport for movement within the European Community including any trade within the United Kingdom. Producers, traders and importers of such material may be authorised to issue plant passports by the Welsh Ministers. The initial authorisation process involves an inspection of premises and the listed plant material and includes a check on business records and further inspections may be carried out subsequent to the grant of authority to ensure compliance with relevant requirements.
The fees payable in respect of such inspections are specified in regulation 3(2).
Regulation 4 revokes the Plant Passport (Plant Health Fees) (England and Wales) Regulations 1993 (S.I. 1993/1642) and the Plant Passport (Plant Health Fees) (England and Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 1997 (S.I. 1997/1961). The level of fees remains unchanged from S.I. 1997/1961 but now apply also to authorisations under the Plant Health (Phytophthora ramorum) (Wales) Order 2006.
