(This note is not part of the Regulations.)
These Regulations further amend the Feeding Stuffs Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1995 (“the principal Regulations”) and implement as respects Northern Ireland the following European Community legislation:
(a)Article 6 of Council Directive 93/113/EEC concerning the use and marketing of enzymes, micro-organisms and their preparations in animal nutrition (O.J. No. L334, 31.12.93, p. 17), and
(b)Commission Directive 97/47/EC amending the Annexes to Council Directives 77/101/EEC, 79/373/EEC and 91/357/EEC (O.J. No. L211, 5.8.97, p. 45).
The Regulations—
(a)introduce additional labelling requirements for straight and compound feeding stuffs intended for animals other than pets, (applicable to feeding stuffs containing protein derived from mammalian tissue) the nature of the requirements being determined by whether or not the feeding stuff concerned contains mammalian meat and bone meal (regulation 6);
(b)amend regulation 14 in the principal Regulations (control of added substances contained in feeding stuffs), in relation to additives which are enzymes and micro-organisms, by—
(i)removing the provisions as regards identification notes and dossiers contained in paragraphs (2) and (3) of that regulation respectively, and
(ii)amending paragraph (1)(c ) by specifying in the form of a list which enzymes and micro-organisms may lawfully be the subject of the activities regulated in paragraph (1)
(regulation 5); and
(c)amend Part II of Schedule 6 to the principal Regulations (as read with paragraph 12 of Schedule 1 to those Regulations) by deleting the category “land animal products”, with the result that, in the case of compound feeding stuffs for animals other than pets, ingredients within that category must now be declared by name in the seller’s statutory statement — the option of declaring them as unspecified ingredients falling into that category being removed, (regulation 8).
