These Regulations implement for Wales Commission Directive 2002/4/EC on the registration of establishments keeping laying hens, covered by Council Directive 1999/74/EC. The Regulations apply to establishments keeping 350 or more laying hens, other than those rearing breeding laying hens (regulation 3). The National Assembly for Wales is required to create and maintain a register of such establishments recording the details listed in the Schedule and to allocate a distinguishing number to each establishment (regulation 4). The information in the register will be made available to the Food Standards Agency and the Health Protection Agency where this is necessary to trace eggs put on the market for human consumption (regulation 5). Establishments may not continue in operation after 30th June 2004 if the information in the Schedule has not been supplied and new establishments may not be brought into operation after that date until a distinguishing number has been communicated (regulation 6). Regulations 7—11 create offences and provide for enforcement. A Regulatory Appraisal has been prepared. Copies may be obtained from the Animal Health Division of the Welsh Assembly Government, Cathays Park, Cardiff CF10 3NQ.

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.
