(This note does not form part of the Regulations) These Regulations implement Directive 99/42 which provides for mutual recognition in the Member States of qualifications in respect of the activities described in the Annexes to the Directive. The Directive provides for the recognition of experience as a means of entry to these activities on the same basis as for persons having the formal qualifications required in particular Member States. These activities are described using the descriptions in the various directives whose provisions are consolidated or modernised. Part 1 of the Regulations makes provision for the issuing of certificates of experience by the Secretary of State. The profession of farrier is an activity within the scope of the Directive to which access in the United Kingdom is regulated by law on the basis of particular qualifications or experience. Part 2 of the Regulations provide for the amendment of the Farriers (Registration) Act 1975 to bring its provisions into line with the requirements of the Directive. A transposition note is available and copies of it have been placed in the libraries of both Houses of Parliament. Copies of the transposition note are also available from the Diplomas Unit, Europe and World Trade Directorate of the Department of Trade and Industry, Room 212, Kingsgate House, 66-74 Victoria Street, London SW1E 6SW.

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.
