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 amend the Animals and Animal Products (Examination for Residues and Maximum Residue Limits) Regulations 1997 (S.I. 1997/1729) (“the principal Regulations”) that provided for the enforcement of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 laying down a Community procedure for the establishment of maximum residue limits of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin (OJ No L 224, 18.8.1990, p.1). That Council Regulation has now been replaced, and these Regulations make supplementary provision to provide for the enforcement of its successor, Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 laying down Community procedures for the establishment of residue limits of pharmacologically active substances in foodstuffs of animal origin (OJ No L 152, 16.6.2009, p.11). In addition, these Regulations provide for the enforcement of Commission Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 on pharmacologically active substances and their classification regarding maximum residue limits in foodstuffs of animal origin (OJ No L 15, 20.1.2010, p.1). Regulation 2 amends the principal Regulations so that the references to EU legislation are up to date. Provision is also made for the review of the principal Regulations (regulation 2(14)). A full Impact Assessment has not been prepared in respect of these Regulations 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.
