PART 7Supplementary and administrative matters

Publication of enforcement action

14.—(1) Each food authority must from time to time publish a report about the enforcement action it has taken under these Regulations.

(2) The report referred to in paragraph (1) must specify—

(a)the cases in which a fixed monetary penalty has been imposed, and

(b)the cases in which liability to the fixed monetary penalty has been discharged by payment of the penalty following the notice of intent and without further action being taken.

(3) In paragraph (2)(a), the reference to cases in which the fixed monetary penalty has been imposed does not include cases where the penalty has been imposed but overturned on appeal.

(4) This regulation does not apply in cases where at the time the report is published—

(a)the period of 28 days beginning with the day the fixed monetary penalty was imposed has not yet elapsed, or

(b)an appeal brought in accordance with paragraphs 8 and 9 of Schedule 2 is pending in relation to the fixed monetary penalty.

(5) Nothing in this regulation authorises the processing of personal data where doing so would contravene the data protection legislation, and for these purposes “personal data” and “the data protection legislation” have the same meanings as in section 3 of the Data Protection Act 2018(1).
