reg 64 Enforcement notice procedure
(1) This regulation applies where a competent authority has reasonable grounds for considering that an economic operator on whom a compliance notice has been served by the competent authority has failed to comply with that notice. (2) The competent authority may serve a notice (“an enforcement notice”) on the economic operator which must— (a) be in writing; (b) describe the regulated non-automatic weighing instrument to which it relates in a manner sufficient to identify that instrument; (c) specify, with reasons, the respects in which, in the opinion of the competent authority, the compliance notice has not been complied with; (d) specify the steps that the economic operator must take to comply with the compliance notice; and (e) specify the date, being not less than 21 days from the date of the notice, by which the economic operator is required to take the steps specified in it. (3) An enforcement notice may impose either or both of the following requirements where appropriate— (a) that the regulated non-automatic weighing instrument is to be withdrawn from the market unless the steps referred to in paragraph (2)(d) are taken; or (b) that the placing on the market or making available on the market of the regulated non-automatic weighing instrument is to be prohibited or restricted unless the steps referred to in paragraph (2)(d) are taken. (4) Where an enforcement notice is served by an competent authority other than the Secretary of State, it must at the same time as it serves that notice send a copy of the notice to the Secretary of State. (5) If the Secretary of State is of the opinion that consideration ought to be given as to whether a certificate or notification which is granted by an approved body should be withdrawn, the Secretary of State must inform that approved body of that fact.
