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, insofar as they relate to zootechnical additives and products with zootechnical additives in them, the provisions of Council Directive 70/524/EEC, as last amended by Council Directive 96/51/EC, on additives in feedingstuffs, and of Council Directive 95/69/EC which lay down the conditions and arrangements for approving and registering certain establishments and intermediaries operating in the animal feed sector. A zootechnical additive is an additive which is classified as an antibiotic, a coccidiostat or other medicinal substance, or a growth promoter and which is used for eventual incorporation in a feedingstuff. The Regulations set out the requirements for applications for Community authorisation of zootechnical additives (regulations 6 to 9) and the approval of establishments (regulations 10 to 17) and intermediaries (regulations 18 to 25). The Regulations control the manufacture and marketing of zootechnical additives, zootechnical premixtures (i.e. mixtures of additives in compound feedingstuffs) and zootechnical feedingstuffs (regulations 26 to 62). These Regulations set fees for the examination of dossiers (regulation 9) and for the approval of establishments (regulation 15) and intermediaries (regulation 23). Supplementary provisions (regulations 63 to 75) include provisions for offences (regulation 69) and penalties (regulation 70). The application of the Medicines Act 1968 to zootechnical products is excluded except in relation to animal test certificates for unauthorised zootechnical additives (regulation 74). A Regulatory Appraisal has been prepared and a copy has been placed in the library of each House of Parliament.

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.
