EXPLANATORY NOTE

Section39 of the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982 relates to street traders’ licences. Section39(4), as amended by section175 of the Criminal Justice and Licensing (Scotland) Act 2010, provides that a street trader’s licence cannot be granted by the licensing authority unless there is produced to them a certificate by the food authority (which, under section5(2) of the Food Safety Act 1990, means, in Scotland, a local authority) stating that the vehicle, kiosk or moveable stall complies with such requirements as the Scottish Ministers may specify.

Article2 of this Order specifies that the requirements referred to in section 39(4) of the 1982 Act are the requirements of certain EU provisions which are listed in Schedule 2 to the Food Hygiene (Scotland) Regulations 2006.

Section50 of the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 specifies the certificates that must accompany a premises licence application. Section50(7), as amended by section186 of the Criminal Justice and Licensing (Scotland) Act 2010, specifies that a food hygiene certificate is a certificate signed on behalf of the appropriate authority (as defined in section50(8)) stating that the subject premises (that is the premises which are the subject of the application for a premises licence) comply with such requirements as the Scottish Ministers may specify.

Article3 of this Order specifies that the requirements referred to in section 50(7) of the 2005 Act are the requirements of certain EU provisions which are listed in Schedule 2 to the Food Hygiene (Scotland) Regulations 2006.
