These Regulations provide for the execution and enforcement of Commission Regulation (EU) 2015/327 amending Regulation (EC) No. 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards requirements for the placing on the market and conditions of use of additives consisting of preparations (OJ No. L58, 3.3.2015, p.46) and of Commission Regulation (EU) 2015/2294 amending Regulation (EC) No. 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the establishment of a new functional group of feed additives (OJ No. L324, 10.12.2015, p.3). These Regulations amend the Animal Feed (Composition, Marketing and Use) (England) Regulations 2015 (S.I. 2015 No.255) by— re-stating the definition of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 so it includes the amendments made by Commission Regulation (EU) 2015/327 and Commission Regulation (EU) 2015/2294; providing that any reference in S.I. 2015/255 to an Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 is to be construed as a reference to that Annex as it may be amended from time to time; providing that certain potential offences of contravening Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 are subject to transitional arrangements set out in Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EU) 2015/327; and correcting a typographical error in regulation 19 of S.I. 2015/255 in reference to Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003. A full impact assessment of the effect that this instrument will have on the costs of business and the voluntary sector is available from the Animal Feed, Foodborne Disease Control, Allergy and Intolerance Branch of the Food Standards Agency, Clive House, 70 Petty France, London SW1H 9EX and is annexed to the Explanatory Memorandum which is available alongside the instrument on the OPSI website.

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

This instrument became law without a debate or a vote. Under the negative procedure it took effect unless a motion to stop it succeeded, and none was tabled.

Procedure
Made negative — law unless a motion to stop it succeeded
Could either House amend it?
No. A statutory instrument is put to each House as a whole thing, to be approved or not. Neither House can change a word of it.
