Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order partially revokes the Food Protection (Emergency Prohibitions) (Radioactivity in Sheep) (Wales) Order 1991.

That Order contains emergency prohibitions restricting various activities in order to prevent human consumption of food which has been, or which may have been, rendered unsuitable for that purpose in consequence of the escape of radioactive substances from a nuclear reactor situated at Chernobyl in the Ukraine.

This partial revocation reduces the area subject to restrictions.

The effect of this Order is to reduce the area which is subject to restriction. Maps showing the areas which are designated by the principal Order and the area derestricted by this Order are available for inspection during normal office hours at the offices of the Food Standards Agency, 11th Floor, Southgate House, Wood Street, Cardiff, CF10 1EW.

A regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business.

(2)

Section 1(1) and (2) was amended by section 51(2)(a) and (b) of the Food Safety Act 1990 (c. 16); section 1(2) defines "designating authority". Functions conferred under the 1985 Act on "the Secretary of State" are exercisable by the Welsh Ministers and Secretary of State for Wales concurrently in relation to Wales. The functions were transferred to the National Assembly for Wales by article 2 of the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/672).
