These Regulations amend Schedule 5 (medicated feedingstuffs and specified feed additives) to the Veterinary Medicines Regulations 2011 (S.I. 2011/2159) (“the 2011 Regulations”). Regulation 2 amends paragraph 7 of Schedule 5 to the 2011 Regulations to provide that manufacturers and distributors of feedingstuffs containing veterinary medicinal products must be approved (as required by Council Directive 90/167/EEC (OJ No L 92, 7.4.1990, p. 42)) in accordance with the conditions governing approval of feed business establishments under Regulation (EC) No 183/2005 (OJ No L 35, 8.2.2005, p. 1). Regulation 3 makes it an offence to fail to comply with paragraph 17(2) and (3) of Schedule 5 to the 2011 Regulations. Regulation 4 amends paragraph 22 of Schedule 5 to the 2011 Regulations to replace a reference to a repealed EU instrument, Council Directive 76/371/EEC (OJ No L 102, 15.4.1976, p. 1) with a reference to the current EU instrument, Commission Regulation (EC) No 152/2009 (OJ No L 54, 26.2.2009, p. 1). A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private, voluntary or public sectors is foreseen.

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.
