These Regulations implement the Windsor Framework in respect of the non-commercial movement of pet animals from Great Britain to Northern Ireland. These Regulations create the Northern Ireland Pet Travel Scheme (“the Scheme”). The Scheme applies only to pets originating in Great Britain. Part 2 sets out the conditions that must be met when moving certain pet animals from Great Britain to Northern Ireland, and processes in relation to the required documentation. Part 3 relates to the checks to be performed in relation to pet animals and the documents that must accompany those animals. It also sets out the role of the SPS inspection facility, and the actions that may be taken in cases of non-compliance with the conditions of the Scheme. Part 4 sets out matters relating to database operators, including the powers of competent authorities to request information held by those operators. A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sector is foreseen.

  I will not be quite as short as the Minister, because it is important that noble Lords understand this in a great deal more detail. Sometimes the words that sound very positive are not nearly as positive when you go into the detail.
