Animals and Animal Products (Import and Export) (Scotland) Regulations 2000 (SSI 2000/216)
Various points arise in relation to this instrument with regard to whether there should be a right of appeal in cases of contravention of provisions. None of those points seems to have been addressed.
It would appear that one could contravene the provisions because one was not aware of them. There is a lack of clarity about regulation 33(1). Nor does there appear to be any sanction for breach of a condition of declaration under regulation 27. Regulation 28 makes reference to a right of appeal, but there does not appear to be any provision for appeals in the regulations and the explanatory note is inadequate.
I think that this is a minor drafting matter, and we can ask the Executive to address those problems. Is that agreed?
Members indicated agreement.
