Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
1. This Order, which comes into force on 7th November 2000, gives effect to Article 3.1 of Commission Decision 2000/418/EC regulating the use of material presenting risks as regards transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (OJ No. L158, 30.6.2000, 76). It amends the Specified Risk Material Order 1997 (S.I. 1997/2964) in so far as it applies to Wales. The Specified Risk Material Order 1997 (“the 1997 Order”) applies to the whole of Great Britain.
2. The Order brings the definition of “specified risk material” used in the 1997 Order into line with that contained in Commission Decision 2000/418/EC.
3. It also replaces article 6 of the 1997 Order with a new article 6, which differs from the old one in two ways. First, it extends the categories of premises to which imported specified risk material is allowed to be sent. Secondly, it requires food and feeding stuff imported from a third country to be accompanied by a certificate confirming, amongst other things, that it does not contain specified risk material.
4. A regulatory appraisal in relation to this Order has been prepared pursuant to section 65 of the Government of Wales Act and placed in the library of the National Assembly for Wales. Copies may be obtained from Agriculture Policy Division 3, National Assembly for Wales, Cathays Park, Cardiff, CF10 3NQ.
