These Regulations amend the Pig Carcase (Grading) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1994 (“the 1994 Regulations”). The 1994 Regulations provide for the administration and enforcement of the Community system of grading pig carcases established by Council Regulation (EEC) No. 3220/84 (O.J. No. L301, 20.11.84, p.1) as amended, the detailed rules for which are set out in Commission Regulation (EEC) No. 2967/85 (O.J. No. L285, 25.10.85, p.39) as amended (“the Commission Regulation”).
Commission Decision (EC) No. 2004/370 (O.J. No. L116, 22.4.2004, p.32) sets out specific rules for the grading of pig carcases in the UK. This Decision has been amended by Commission Decision (EC) No. 2006/374 (O.J. No. L142, 30.5.2006, p.34) to remove some of the rules specific to the UK. These Regulations, at regulation 2(2)(a) and regulation 2(3)(a), amend the 1994 Regulations to incorporate these amendments.
The 1994 Regulations are also amended to:—
(a)update the reference to the Commission Regulation to refer to the Regulation as amended (regulation 2(2)(b));
(b)provide for carcases to be weighed in an alternative way as provided by Article 2(2) of the Commission Regulation (regulation 2(3)(a));
(c)provide for carcases to be marked in an alternative way as permitted by Article 4(3) of the Commission Regulation (regulation 2(3)(b)).
A Regulatory Impact Assessment has not been prepared for these Regulations because they have no impact on the costs of business.
