These Regulations amend the Seed Potatoes Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2016 (S.R. 2016 No. 190) ("the principal Regulations").
Regulation 4 implements Article 5 of Commission Implementing Directive (EU) 2016/317 (OJ L 60, 5.3.16, p 72), which amends Section (A) of Annex III to Directive 2002/56/EC, to add an "Officially assigned serial number" to the label particulars required for the official label on a package or container of basic seed potatoes under Schedule 2 to the principal Regulations.
Regulation 3 makes a minor amendment to regulation 11(3)(a) of the principal Regulations to correct an erroneous reference.
The Ministry of Agriculture became known as the Department of Agriculture by virtue of section 7(5) of the Northern Ireland Constitution Act (c.36), and was renamed the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development by Article 3(4) of the Departments (Northern Ireland) Order 1999 (S.I 1999/283 (N.I. 1)). The Department of Agriculture and Rural Development was renamed the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs by section 1(2) of the Departments Act (Northern Ireland) 2016 c. 5 (N.I.).
1965 c.22 (N.I.). ("the 1965 Act") Section 1 was amended by 1970 c.20 (N.I.), section 10(1) and S.R. & O.(N.I.) 1972 No. 351, article 3 and Schedule 3. Section 2 was amended by 1970 c.20 (N.I.), section 10(2) and S.R. 1977 No. 295, regulation 2. The 1965 Act apples to seed potatoes by virtue of section 12(1).
