These Regulations, which apply in England, revoke and re-make with amendments the Import and Export Restrictions (Foot-and-Mouth Disease) Regulations 2007. They implement Commission Decision 2007/554/EC concerning certain protection measures against foot-and-mouth disease in the United Kingdom. They regulate— a the importation and dispatch of live animals (regulations 4 and 5); b the export of meat from bovine, ovine caprine and porcine animals and other biungulates (regulation 6); c the export of meat products, milk and dairy products (regulations 7, 8 and 9); d the export of semen, ova or embryos of animals of the bovine, ovine, caprine and porcine species and other biungulates (regulation 10), hides and skins (regulation 11) and various animal products (regulation 12); e the export of equidae (regulation 15); and f personal exports (regulation 16) They create an offence of offering to export anything which it is prohibited to export under the Regulations (regulation 17). They provide powers for enforcement, and powers for officers of Revenue and Customs (regulations 18 to 20 ) and create an offence of obstruction (regulation 21). Breach of the Regulations is an offence, punishable— g on summary conviction, to a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum or to imprisonment not exceeding three months or to both; h on conviction on indictment, to a fine or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or to both. The Regulations are enforced by the Secretary of State or the local authority (regulation 27). An impact assessment has not been prepared for these Regulations.

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.
