Regulation 7

AMENDING INSTRUMENTS REVOKED

The Feeding Stuffs and the Feeding Stuffs (Enforcement) Amendment (Scotland) Regulations 2001[

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations, which apply in relation to Scotland only–

They provide for the implementation, or as the case may be the continuing implementation, of the EC Directives and Decision listed at the end of this note.

The Regulations apply to farmed creatures and pet animals, and in regulation 14 also to animals living freely in the wild.

The Regulations preserve the modifications made to the Agriculture Act 1970 ("the Act") by regulations 20 and 21 of the 2000 Regulations, with the minor drafting amendment that the definition of "pet animal" is made explicit rather than by reference to EC legislation (regulations 3 and 4).

They continue to prescribe the material that is "prescribed material" for the purposes of sections 68(1) and 69(1) of the Act as any material useable as a feeding stuff (regulation 5). Under those sections, sellers of prescribed materials are required to give to purchasers "statutory statements" covering the composition of the material and information on storage, handling and use. Material held for sale must be marked with such information.

They revoke with certain exceptions the provisions of the 2000 Regulations, which were last amended by S.S.I. 2004/208, and re-enact the majority of those provisions (regulation 7).

Part II of these Regulations deals with the presentation and composition of feeding stuffs. The content of the statutory statement and other declarations are prescribed by regulation 8 and Schedule 3 and their form by regulation 9 (the labelling of additives and premixtures not mixed with feeding stuffs is now regulated directly by Regulation (EC) No. 1831/2003).

The Regulations with minor drafting amendments also re-enact provisions of the 2000 Regulations so as to–

These Regulations provide for the implementation of Commission Directive 2004/116/EC mentioned above by including Candida guilliermondii among the substances authorised and regulated by regulation 16 and Schedule 6, and in regulation 20 provide for the execution and enforcement of the Additives Regulation by–

In relation to feed additives these Regulations also maintain the duty of confidentiality imposed by the 2000 Regulations on anyone who may, in the course of processing an application for authorisation, have acquired commercially sensitive information (regulation 21).

Part III of these Regulations deals with enforcement. It re-enacts provisions in the 2000 Regulations that–

The EC Directives and Decision for which these Regulations provide continued implementation are–

A full regulatory impact assessment, which includes a compliance cost assessment of the effect which these Regulations will have on business costs, has been prepared and placed in the Scottish Parliament Information Centre.
