(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations extend to Scotland only. They amend the Feed (Hygiene and Enforcement) (Scotland) Regulations 2005 (“the 2005 Regulations”).
As well as making minor drafting changes, these Regulations amend the 2005 Regulations by providing the Food Standards Agency with—
enforcement powers under regulation 16 of the 2005 Regulations but only insofar as those enforcement powers relate to primary production and without restricting the enforcement powers of each feed authority; and
the power to appoint authorised officers to carry out its enforcement powers.
A full regulatory impact assessment of the effect that this instrument will have on the costs of business and the voluntary sector has been prepared and placed in the Scottish Parliament Information Centre. Copies may be obtained from the Food Standards Agency (Scotland), 6th Floor, St Magnus House, 25 Guild Street, Aberdeen AB11 6NJ.
