These Regulations amend the Eggs and Chicks (Scotland) (No.2) Regulations 2008 (“the principal Regulations”). The amendments make new provision for the enforcement of directly applicable EU controls for salmonella serotypes with public health significance in relation to the marketing and use of eggs in shell for human consumption. They include provisions making the failure to comply with the provisions of Regulation (EC) No.2160/2003 (O.J.L325, 12.2.2003, p.1) of the European Parliament and of the Council on the control of salmonella and other specified food-borne zoonotic agents an offence, by inserting a new regulation12A in the principal Regulations (regulation7). Paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to the European Communities Act 1972 is included in the enabling power for these Regulations. This is necessary because references are made in regulations 4, 9, 12, 13, 14 and 17 to EU instruments which are defined in the principal Regulations as meaning those EU instruments as amended from time to time. These Regulations also make amendments to and relevant to the Food Labelling Regulations 1996. These remove an ambiguity over the amendment to regulation45 made by paragraph2(b) of Schedule3 to the principal Regulations when read with regulation22(1) of those Regulations. A Business and Regulatory Impact Assessment has not been produced, as there will be no cost to business.

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.
