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 implement in part Commission Decision 96/239/EC on emergency measures to protect against Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, as amended by Commission Decision 96/362/EC. They control the despatch to other member States of meat and other products from bovine animals slaughtered outside the United Kingdom (regulation 3). They make provision for the Minister to charge fees (regulation 4) and contain provisions on enforcement, obstruction, offences and penalties (regulations 5 to 8). They amend the Products of Animal Origin (Import and Export) Regulations 1992 (S.I. 1992/3292) and the Animals and Animal Products (Import and Export) Regulations 1995 (S.I. 1995/2428) so that those Regulations apply without prejudice to these Regulations (regulation 9). A Compliance Cost Assessment has been prepared and placed in the library of each House of Parliament. Copies can be obtained from the Meat Hygiene 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.
