Regulation 2 appoints the end date for “the transitional staging period” (defined in Annex 6 to Regulation (EU) 2017/625 (EUR 2017/625)) as 28th February 2022. For certain types of product, the extension of the transitional staging period is to earlier dates: 30th September 2021 and 31st December 2021.

Regulation 3 appoints the end date for the general transitional provision for certain model certificates, as provided for in regulation 33 of the Official Controls (Animals, Feed and Food, Plant Health etc.) (Amendment) (EU Exit) (No. 2) Regulations 2020 (S.I. 2020/1631), as 30th September 2021. Regulations 7 and 8 make amendments also providing for a transitional period for model certificates or other documents to end on 30th September 2021.

Regulations 4 to 6 make amendments resulting from these changes.
