These Regulations, which extend to Scotland only, implement Commission Decision 99/724/EC (O.J. No. L 290, 12.11.99, p.32) (“the Commission Decision”) in so far as it relates to trade between Member States of the European Community and imposes new or changed obligations on the United Kingdom.
The Commission Decision amends Annex II to Council Directive 92/118/EEC (O.J. No. L 62, 15.3.93, p.49) by imposing new requirements relating to gelatine intended for human consumption. The provisions of that Directive relating to intra-Community trade are implemented by the Products of Animal Origin (Import and Export) Regulations 1996 (S.I. 1996/3124) (“the 1996 Regulations”). These Regulations amend the 1996 Regulations to give effect to the requirements of the Commission Decision.
The Commission Decision requires collection centres and tanneries which supply raw materials for the manufacture of gelatine for intra-Community trade to be authorised for this purpose and these Regulations give power to food authorities in Scotland to issue, suspend, withdraw and cancel authorisations of such collection centres and tanneries which supply raw materials. The Food Standards Agency is required to maintain a register of premises so authorised.
A Regulatory Impact Assessment, which includes a compliance cost assessment of the effect which these Regulations have on business costs, has been prepared and placed in the Scottish Parliament Information Centre. Copies can be obtained from the Food Standards Agency, 6th Floor, St Magnus House, 25 Guild Street, Aberdeen AB11 6NJ.
