These Regulations amend the Products of Animal Origin (Third Country Imports) (England) Regulations 2006 (S.I. 2006/2841) (“the principal Regulations”) by omitting regulation 2(5) and replacing Schedule 1. The substituted Schedule 1 incorporates new and amended European instruments that have come into force since Schedule 1 was last substituted by S.I. 2008/3230. European instruments referred to in the substituted Schedule 1 are to be construed as references to that legislation as amended from time to time.
The principal Regulations implement Council Directive 97/78/EC (OJ No L24, 30.1.98, p9) laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the European Union from third countries. They require that products of animal origin for import from third countries must be presented to an approved Border Inspection Post for veterinary examination to ensure that the product complies with the relevant import requirements. Importers are required to comply with the import requirements listed in Schedule 1.
