(This note is not part of the Regulations.)
These Regulations amend the Misuse of Drugs (Northern Ireland) Regulations 1986 by adding a new Part I to Schedule 4 comprising a list of anabolic and androgenic steroids and derivatives; an andrenoceptor stimulant; and polypeptide hormones. These drugs became subject to control under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 by virtue of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 (Modification) Order 1996 (S.I. 1996/1300). The controls applied are the same as for drugs currently contained in Schedule 4 (now Schedule 4 Part II) except that the Schedule 4 Part I drugs are not exempted from the prohibition on importation or exportation in section 3 of the Act but the application of offences arising from the prohibition is excluded where the importation or exportation is in the form of a medicinal product by any person for administration to himself.
