Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations.)
These Regulations revoke and replace the Fertilisers (Mammalian Meat and Bone Meal) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1996.
The Regulations continue to control the sale of mammalian meat and bone meal for use as a fertiliser on agricultural land (regulation 3).
They introduce a new provision prohibiting (with a specified exception relating to existing stocks of mammalian meat and bone meal) the sale and use of mammalian meat and bone meal for use as or in a fertiliser, unless it has been manufactured in accordance with the Fertilisers (Mammalian Meat and Bone Meal) (Conditions of Manufacture) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1998 (regulation 4).
Under section 74A(3) of the Agriculture Act 1970 any person who contravenes the provisions of these Regulations shall be guilty of an offence and is liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale (currently £5,000) or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three months or to both.
