EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Older Cattle (Disposal) (Scotland) Regulations 2006 ("the principal Regulations") which make provision for the enforcement of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 716/96 adopting exceptional support measures for the beef market in the United Kingdom (O.J. No. L 99, 20.4.96, p.14).
Regulation 3 amends regulation 9 of the principal Regulations to make it an offence to fail to comply with a notice served under the principal Regulations and to provide a more detailed offence provision.
Regulation 4 amends regulation 10 of the principal Regulations to provide for a fine, on summary conviction, not exceeding the statutory maximum.
Regulation 5 amends the Schedule to the principal Regulations by substituting references to "occupiers" for those to "operators".
A full Regulatory Impact Assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business.
