(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations make further amendments to the Feeding Stuffs (Scotland) Regulations 2005 (“the Feeding Stuffs Regulations”).
These Regulations provide for the implementation of Commission Directive 2008/4/EC (“the Directive”) amending Directive 94/39/EC as regards feedingstuffs intended for the reduction of the risk of milk fever (O.J. No. L6, 10.1.2008, p.4) (as corrected by a Corrigendum (O.J. No. L 22, 25.1.2008, p.21). The Directive permits, subject to specified labelling requirements, two additional types of dietetic feed to be marketed for the reduction of milk fever in dairy cows.
These Regulations amend the table in Schedule 7 (permitted feeding stuffs intended for particular nutritional purposes and provisions relating to their use) to the Feeding Stuffs Regulations, by replacing the existing entries relating to the reduction of the risk of milk fever with the revised entries contained in the Directive (regulation 2).
A regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument, as it has no impact on the costs of business.
