These Regulations make temporary, non-textual amendments to Commission Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 (“EUR 1308/2013”) and the Poultrymeat (Scotland) Regulations 2011 (“the 2011 Regulations”). These Regulations come into force on 28 November 2022 and expire on 1 January 2023. Regulation 2 amends Annex VII, Part V of EUR 1308/2013 to provide that during the period beginning on 28 November 2022 and expiring on 1 January 2023, certain poultrymeat and poultrymeat preparations may be marketed in defrosted condition. Definitions are provided of “defrosted poultrymeat” and “defrosted poultrymeat preparation”. Regulation 3 amends the 2011 Regulations in the third row of the Table in schedule 1, Part 1. The amendments provide that the offence of contravening point III of Annex VII, Part V of EUR 1308/2013 is to be read with the amendments to that Part made by these Regulations. A Business and Regulatory Impact Assessment has been prepared and will be placed in the Scottish Parliament Information Centre.

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 has no record of this instrument, although it covers the period. Nothing is inferred from that.
