These Regulations revoke and re-enact with amendments the Animals and Animal Products (Import and Export) Regulations 1993. They take into account changes to Community legislation adopted since those Regulations were made. Amongst other changes Schedule 2 (Border Inspection Posts referred to in Regulation 1(2) and 17(1)) now specifies the categories of animals which are permitted to be imported through the named, authorised Border Inspection Posts. Amendments have been made to Schedule 1 (Regulation 1(2)), Schedule 3 (Regulations 4, 5(1), 6, 10, 12(4)(a), 29(2)(b) and 33), and Schedule 5 (Regulations 16(2) and (3), 18(2) and 33) in accordance with the European Economic Area Agreement and the Act concerning the conditions of accession of the Kingdom of Norway, the Republic of Austria, the Republic of Finland and the Kingdom of Sweden. A Compliance Cost Assessment for these Regulations has been prepared and placed in the library of each House of Parliament. Copies can be obtained from the Animal Health (International Trade) Division of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Government Buildings, Hook Rise South, Tolworth, Surbiton, Surrey KT6 7NF.

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.
