Regulation 3(3)(a) and (4)-(11) make minor drafting amendments to the principal Regulations and amend Schedules 4 and 5 to those Regulations, which relate respectively to permitted additives in feeding stuffs and to prescribed limits for undesirable substances in feeding stuffs.
The principal changes are contained in-
regulation 3(2), which removes from regulation 13 of the principal Regulations (controlling the use of additives in feeding stuffs) certain provisions concerning importation into Great Britain of material containing additives;
regulation 3(3)(b), which extends the provisions contained in paragraph 12 of Schedule 1 to the principal Regulations (which are concerned with declaration of the ingredients of compound feeding stuffs for animals other than pet animals in the statutory statements required by law to be provided when such feeding stuffs are sold) by prescribing names for the designation of such ingredients in statutory statements where certain specified requirements are met;
regulation 4, which extends the provisions of regulation 14(6) of the principal Regulations (which prohibit the use and sale for use as a compound feeding stuff of material containing certain specified substances) by adding certain substances to the list of those prohibited;
regulation 5, which modifies and extends the provisions of regulation 14 of the principal Regulations (which control the use in feeding stuffs and ingredients of undesirable substances) by extending the range of transactions to which the controls apply; by prohibiting the mixing of ingredients with other ingredients or feeding stuffs in certain circumstances; by requiring ingredients the subject of specified transactions to be sound, genuine and of merchantable quality; by requiring individuals who become aware in specified circumstances that ingredients or feeding stuffs do not comply with the controls to report the matter to the authorities and by further extending the controls by applying them where feeding stuffs or ingredients are to be consumed by wild animals.
