Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order) — 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, implement Commission Decision 2002/69/EC concerning certain protective measures with regard to the products of animal origin imported from China (O.J. No. L 30, 31.01.02, p.51). 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” and in regulation 3 respectively, importation of relevant products of animal origin (regulation 4). They also specify the enforcement authorities (regulation 5) and apply with modifications, for the purposes of the Regulations, certain provisions of the Food Safety Act 1990 (regulation 6). 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.
