(This note is not part of the Regulations.)
These Regulations amend the Eggs (Marketing Standards) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1995 (“the 1995 Regulations”).
The 1995 Regulations provide for the enforcement and execution of certain provisions of Council Regulation (EEC) No. 1907/90 (O.J. No. L173, 6.7.90, p.5) and Commission Regulation (EEC) No. 1274/91 (O.J. No. L121, 16.5.91, p.11) relating to marketing standards for eggs and Regulation (EEC) No. 2782/75 of the Council (O.J. No. L282, 1.11.75, p.100) and Commission Regulation (EEC) No. 1868/77 (O.J. No. L209, 17.8.77, p.1) relating to the production and marketing of eggs for hatching and of farmyard poultry chicks. Since the 1995 Regulations were last amended Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1274/91 has been repealed and replaced by Commission Regulation (EC) No. 2295/2003 (O.J. No. L340, 24.12.2003, p.16). This has itself since been amended. Council Regulation (EEC) No. 1907/90, Council Regulation (EEC) No. 2782/75 and Commission Regulation (EEC) No. 1868/77 have also been amended. These Regulations amend the 1995 Regulations by—
(a)omitting regulation 7 and 7A (relating to the United Kingdom official mark); and
(b)replacing the Schedule with an updated Schedule of Community provisions.
