Whereas it appears to the Scottish Ministers that the import of certain star anise originating in, or consigned from, third countries no longer involves imminent risk of injury to health, they, in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 13(1) and 48(1) of the Food Safety Act 1990[1], and of all other powers enabling them in that behalf, having had regard in accordance with section 48(4A) of that Act to relevant advice given by the Food Standards Agency, hereby make the following Order:
Citation and commencement
1. This Order may be cited as the Food (Star Anise from Third Countries) (Emergency Control) (Scotland) Revocation Order 2003 and shall come into force on 9th October 2003.
Revocation
2. The Food (Star Anise from Third Countries) (Emergency Control) (Scotland) Order 2002[2] is hereby revoked.

This Order revokes the Food (Star Anise from Third Countries) (Emergency Control) (Scotland) Order 2002 (S.S.I. 2002/64), which prohibited the import of star anise and Japanese star anise into Scotland unless certain conditions were complied with. That Order implemented Commission Decision 2002/75/EC laying down special conditions on the import from third countries of star anise (O.J. No. L 33, 2.2.02, p.31).
The Commission concluded that the conditions attaching to the import of star anise under Commission Decision 2002/75/EC are no longer justified and that Decision was repealed by Commission Decision 2003/602/EC (O.J. No. L 204, 13.8.03, p.60). This Order implements Commission Decision 2003/602/EC.
No regulatory impact assessment has been prepared in relation to this Order.
