The Meat and Livestock Commission Levy (Variation) Scheme (Confirmation) Order 1990
By this Order the Ministers confirm the Meat and Livestock Commission Levy (Variation) Scheme 1990 which replaces the variation Scheme confirmed by the Meat and Livestock Commission Levy (Variation) Scheme (Confirmation) Order 1988 (S.I. 1988/838) and further varies the Meat and Livestock Commission Levy Scheme 1987 confirmed by the Meat and Livestock Commission Levy Scheme (Confirmation) Order 1987 (S.I. 1987/1303) (“the Scheme”). Under the Scheme charges are imposed on slaughterers and exporters (including producers who export livestock) to ensure effective collection. However, the Commission is authorised to determine that slaughterers may recover from producers from whom they have purchased animals one half of the charges payable in respect of General Expenses and all charges payable in respect of Species Promotion Expenses. Producers thereby contribute to the financing of the Commission via the recovery by slaughterers of levy paid by them.
