Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations) — published with the instrument by the department that made it. © Crown copyright, reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

These Regulations, which extend to Scotland only, revoke and re enact with changes the Food and Animal Feedingstuffs (Products of Animal Origin from China) (Control) (Scotland) Regulations 2002. They implement Commission Decision 2002/441/EC amending Decision 2002/69/EC concerning certain protective measures with regard to the products of animal origin imported from China. These Regulations define “relevant product of animal origin” (regulation 2); they prohibit, with exceptions (which are specified in the definition of “relevant product of animal origin”), importation of relevant products of animal origin (regulation 3). They also specify the enforcement authorities (regulation 4) and apply with modifications, for the purposes of the Regulations, certain provisions of the Food Safety Act 1990 and the Food Safety (Sampling and Qualifications) Regulations 1990 (regulation 5). The principal changes to the revoked Regulations are that– a the exceptions referred to above are modified as regards the types of products to which, and the circumstances in which, they apply; and b a specific obligation is imposed on consignors or consignees of any product subject to the Regulations to re imburse the food authority on demand in relation to costs it incurs in complying with Commission Decision 2002/69/EC (as amended by Commission Decision 2002/441/EC) in relation to that product. No Regulatory Impact Assessment has been prepared in respect of these Regulations.

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.
