(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations further amend the Fresh Meat and Poultry Meat (Hygiene, Inspection and Examinations for Residues) (Charges) Regulations 1990. They implement in part the provisions of Council Decision 88/408/EEC (OJ No. L194, 22.7.88, p. 24) on the level of fees to be charged for health inspections and controls of fresh meat pursuant to Council Directive 85/73/EEC (OJ No. L32, 5.2.85, p. 14).
The Regulations introduce an upper limit on the amount that can be charged by a food authority in respect of health inspection and control exercises carried out at a slaughterhouse. That limit is £40 for the first four livestock units presented at a slaughterhouse on the same occasion for inspection. For any additional livestock units presented together with the first four, the limit is £6.30 per livestock unit. In all cases the amount that may be charged for a health inspection and control exercise must not exceed the real cost. A livestock unit is defined as 1 bovine or soliped, 3 pigs, or 7 sheep or goats.
