No. L 62, 15.3.1993, p. 69) in so far as that Directive controls swine vesicular disease and Commission Directive 2007/10/EC (O.J. No. L 63, 1.3.2007, p. 24). They revoke and remake with amendments the Swine Vesicular Disease Order (Northern Ireland) 1973. Part I is introductory. Part II deals with the notification of suspicion of swine vesicular disease. Part III and Schedule 1 deal with premises where swine vesicular disease is suspected or confirmed, or which have been exposed to the virus. Part IV deals with slaughterhouses. Part V and Schedule 2 make provision for the establishment of protection, surveillance and movement zones following the confirmation of swine vesicular disease on any premises Part VI prohibits vaccination against swine vesicular disease except in the circumstances set out there. Part VII contains provisions relating to inspection and enforcement. Breach of the Regulations is an offence punishable— a on summary conviction, with a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum, imprisonment for a term not exceeding three months or both, or b on conviction on indictment, with a fine or imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months or both.

What Parliament said about it
Hansard was searched for this instrument by name and returned nothing. That is the ordinary outcome: an instrument laid under the negative procedure is usually never debated, and becomes law without a word said about it in either House.
How Parliament handled it
Parliament's Statutory Instruments service records procedure from May 2017 onwards, and this instrument predates it. That is a limit of the source, not a statement that nothing happened.
