Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Bovines and Bovine Products (Trade) Regulations 1999 (S.I. 1999/1103, as amended) insofar as they extend to Scotland. Those Regulations extend to the whole of Great Britain.
The effect of the amendments is to permit the despatch of bone-in beef from premises approved under the Date Based Export Scheme to the domestic market.
