The Import of and Trade in Animals and Animal Products (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019

PART 5 Revocations, saving and transitional provision for retained direct EU legislation

Revocations

52.  The retained direct EU legislation listed in the Schedule 2 is revoked.

Saving of the effect of provision in respect of model forms of health certificates

53.  Where these Regulations revoke any provision of retained direct EU legislation which would, but for that revocation, otherwise have effect on or after exit day as part of EU retained law in relation to the model forms of health certificates to be used in respect of the importation and movement of, animals and animal products into or through the United Kingdom, those provisions are saved and continue to have effect on or after exit day for transitional purposes in accordance with regulation 54.

General transitional provision relating to the presentation or other use of model forms of health certificates

54.  Where these Regulations amend any provision of retained direct EU legislation which, on or after exit day, forms part of EU retained law so as to enable the presentation or other use of a model form of health certificate “as published by the appropriate authority from time to time”, that amendment does not preclude a model certificate in the form set out in the text of such legislation as it had effect immediately before exit day, from being presented or otherwise used on or after exit day, in connection with the importation and movement of animals or animal products into or through the United Kingdom instead of the equivalent model certificate as published by the appropriate authority for such further period after exit day as the appropriate authority publishes as being necessary for transitional purposes.
