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, which extend to Wales only, implement Commission Decision 2002/69/EC concerning certain protective measures with regard to the products of animal origin imported from China (OJ No. L30, 31.1.2002, p.50). These Regulations define “relevant product of animal origin” (regulation 2); prohibit, with exceptions which are specified respectively in the definition of “relevant product of animal origin” and in regulation 3, their importation (regulation 4); specify the enforcement authorities (regulation 5); and apply with modifications, for the purposes of the Regulations, certain provisions of the Food Safety Act 1990 (regulation 6).

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.
