SITPRO's Ports Procedures Policy Group (PPPG), commissioned LACORS (Local Authorities Coordinators of Better Regulation - http://www.lacors.gov.uk/pages/trade/about.asp (Link to an external site - Disclaimer 
)) to write two reports in response to the Cabinet Office Review of the Organisation of Government Controls of Imports of Animal, Fish, Plants and their products (see article in SITPRO News - Issue 44). These reports are now available as initial discussion documents to help disseminate trade views and initiate agenda items for future consultation.
The first report Third Country Imports
Subject to Community
Plant Health or Veterinary
Checks Regimes
(pdf 164KB 
) is a study of the legislative framework,
the use and definition of key terms,
and the conditions for release
into free circulation.
The second report The Importation of
Goods Subject to Animal
or Plant Health Regimes
(pdf 147KB ) is a study to identify, document
and evaluate trade concerns about
cross-border trade procedures and
documentation that have an animal or
plant health element.
If you wish to discuss any of the issues raised in the studies, please contact us.
