These Regulations provide for the execution and enforcement of Commission Regulation (EU) No. 225/2012 amending Annex II to Regulation (EC) No. 183/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the approval of establishments placing on the market, for feed use, products derived from vegetable oils and blended fats and as regards the specific requirements for production, storage, transport and dioxin testing of oils, fats and products derived thereof (OJ No. L77, 16.3.2012, p.1) (“Regulation 225/2012”). These Regulations amend the Feed (Hygiene and Enforcement) (Wales) Regulations 2005 (S.I. 2005/3368 (W.265)) by — re-stating the definition of Regulation (EC) No 183/2005 so that, by virtue of section 20A of the Interpretation Act 1978, it includes the amendments made by Regulation 225/2012 (regulation 2(2)); providing that any reference in S.I. 2005/3280 to an Annex to Regulation (EC) No 183/2005 is to be construed as a reference to that Annex as it may be amended from time to time (regulation 2(3)); designating the competent authorities for the purposes of enforcing certain provisions of Regulation 225/2012 (regulation 2(4)); and providing for the fee to be paid for approval of specified establishments (regulation 2(5) and Schedule 1). These Regulations also amend the Animal Feed (Wales) Regulations 2010 (S.I. 2010/2652 (W.220)) by— removing references to an EU instrument which has been repealed (regulation 3(2)); and clarifying the drafting of enforcement provisions relating to Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the placing on the market and use of feed (OJ No. L229, 1.9.2009, p.1) (regulation 3(3) and (4) and Schedule 2). The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, a regulatory assessment has been prepared as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations.

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.
