These Regulations amend the Products of Animal Origin (Third Country Imports) (Scotland) Regulations 2002 (S.S.I. 2002/445) ("the principal Regulations").
The principal Regulations implement Council Directive 97/78/EC, which lays down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (O.J. No. L 24, 30.1.98, p.9). Schedule 2 to the principal Regulations lists the import conditions with which products must comply, by reference to the relevant Community legislation.
These Regulations amend Part VIII of Schedule 2 to the principal Regulations to refer to–
-
(a) Commission Decision 2006/522/EC (O.J. No. L 205, 27.07.06, p.28) which further amends Commission Decision 2005/760/EC (concerning certain protection measures in relation to highly pathogenic avian influenza in certain third countries for the import of captive birds) (O.J. No. L 285, 28.10.05, p.60) (regulation 2(2)(a)); and
(b) Commission Decision 2006/521/EC (O.J. No L205, 27.07.06, p.26) which further amends Commission Decision 2006/7/EC concerning certain protection measures in relation to the import of feathers from certain third countries (O.J. No. L 5, 10.1.06, p.17) (regulation 2(2)(b)).
These Regulations also update the reference to Regulation (EC) No. 1774/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down health rules concerning animal by products not intended for human consumption (O.J. No. L 273, 10.10.02, p.1) (regulation 2(2)(c)).
A Regulatory Impact Assessment has not been prepared for these Regulations.
