These Regulations amend the Products of Animal Origin (Third Country Imports) (Scotland) Regulations 2002 (S.S.I. 2002/445) (“the principal Regulations”) which implement Council Directive 97/78/EC laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (O.J. No. L 24, 30.1.1998, p.9).
They give effect to the restriction on the importation of products derived from birds, other than poultry, contained in Commission Decision 2005/760/EC (concerning certain protection measures in relation to highly pathogenic avian influenza in certain third countries for the import of captive birds) (O.J. No. L 285, 28.10.2005, p.60) as amended by Commission Decision 2005/862/EC (O.J. No. L 317, 3.12.2005, p.19).
Schedule 2 to the principal Regulations lists the import conditions with which products must comply, by reference to the relevant Community legislation. These Regulations amend Part VIII of Schedule 2 to the principal Regulations to refer to Commission Decision 2005/760/EC, as amended (regulation 2(2)(a)). That Part of that Schedule is also amended to refer to Regulation (EC) No. 1774/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down health rules concerning animal by-products not intended for human consumption (O.J. No. L 273, 10.10.2002, p.1) as read with Commission Decision 2005/760/EC, as amended (regulation 2(2)(b)).
