Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Artificial Insemination (Cattle and Pigs) (Fees) Regulations 1987 by revising the fees payable in connection with the issue of licences and approvals under certain Regulations relating to the artificial insemination of cattle and pigs and in connection with tests and examinations carried out for the purposes of these Regulations (regulations 2, 4 and 5 and Schedules). Old fees are shown in the revised Schedules in italics.

The services formerly provided in connection with the matters referred to in items 2, 3 and 10 of Schedule 1 have been further distinguished so that a different fee is specified for each service. New fees are introduced for services provided in connection with items 11(b) (additional site for farm storage flask) and 18 (inspection of premises and vehicles at farm storage servicing premises). Provision is made for a reduced fee where inspections are carried out on the same occasion on two premises within five miles of each other (regulation 3).
