EXPLANATORY NOTE
These Regulations are made in exercise of the powers conferred by paragraph 1(1) of Schedule 2 to the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (c. 16) in order to address failures of retained EU law to operate effectively and other deficiencies arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union.
These Regulations make amendments to legislation in the field of animal health. They amend domestic legislation that provides enforcement of—
(a)the Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies,
(b)the Animal By-Products Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 laying down health rules as regards animal by-products and derived products not intended for human consumption, and
(c)Commission Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 implementing Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009.
The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations.
