EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations replace the Beef Labelling (Enforcement) (England) Regulations 2000 with Regulations setting out requirements for the labelling of veal as well as beef.
They continue to enforce Title II of Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a system for the identification and registration of bovine animals and regarding the labelling of beef and beef products and subsidiary Commission Regulations. They also enforce the provisions relating to meat of bovine animals aged 12 months or less of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products as well as the provisions of Commission Regulation (EC) No 566/2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as regards the marketing of the meat of bovine animals aged 12 months or less.
They are enforced by the local authority, port health authority or Secretary of State in accordance with regulation 3.
Breach of the Regulations is an offence punishable on summary conviction with a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale.
A full impact assessment has been produced and placed in the library of each House of Parliament. It is available on the Defra website at www.defra.gov.uk.
