These Regulations, which extend to Scotland only, amend the Plant Health Fees (Scotland) Regulations 1996. The Regulations introduce a new fee for potato quarantine testing for material imported in accordance with article 30A of the Plant Health (Great Britain) Order 1993 and subject to the appropriate quarantine measures referred to in paragraph 6 of that article.
Other fees are unchanged.
The fees prescribed by these Regulations in relation to plant quarantine testing reflect the costs expected to be incurred in undertaking the inspections.
