Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Regulations amend the Specified Risk Material Regulations 1997, which come into force on 1st January, in two respects to remove burdens imposed under the Regulations which were not intended.
Firstly, an addition to regulation 7 provides that it does not apply to two descriptions of food containing specified risk material derived only from animals which were slaughtered or have died outside the United Kingdom. These are food not listed in Schedule 1 to the Specified Risk Material Order 1997 (which relates to import certificates) or food which is so listed, but which was, or any ingredients in it containing specified risk material were, imported in accordance with article 6 of that Order.
Secondly, an addition to regulation 19 provides that it does not apply to carcases of sheep or goats slaughtered before 1st January 1998.
A Regulatory Appraisal for these Regulations has been prepared and placed in the libraries of both Houses of Parliament. Copies can be obtained from the Meat Hygiene Division of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Ergon House, 17 Smith Square, London SW1P 3JR.
