Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Animals and Animal Products (Import and Export) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2005 S.R. 2005 No. 78.
The Regulations provide a statutory basis for the Northern Ireland Poultry Health Assurance Scheme, which is implemented by the Department in order to ensure compliance with the rules set out in Annex II to Council Directive 90/539/EEC (on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in, and imports from third countries of, poultry and hatching eggs) (O.J. No. L303, 31.10.90, p. 6).
Regulation 4 provides that hatching eggs, day-old chicks and poultry to which Article 6 of that Directive applies may only be exported to another member State if they come from an establishment that is a member of the Northern Ireland Poultry Health Assurance Scheme.
Applications for establishments to join the Scheme must be accompanied by a registration fee and members of the Scheme must pay an annual membership fee.
The arrangements for the approval of laboratories to undertake Mycoplasma testing under the Northern Ireland Poultry Health Assurance Scheme, including the annual approval fee, are set out in regulation 5 and the Schedule.
Regulation 6 inserts Schedules 6 and 7 into the Animals and Animal Products (Import and Export) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2005 specifying details of the Northern Ireland Poultry Health Assurance Scheme and the approval of laboratories for the purposes of Mycoplasma testing under the Northern Ireland Poultry Health Assurance Scheme.
