Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations make further amendments to the Feeding Stuffs (Scotland) Regulations 2005 (“the Feeding Stuffs Regulations”).
These Regulations provide for the implementation of Commission Directive 2006/77/EC amending Annex I to Directive 2002/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards organochlorine compounds in animal feed (O.J. No. L 271, 30.9.2006, p.53).
The Regulations amend Chapter D of Schedule 5 to the Feeding Stuffs Regulations, principally by–
(a)setting new limits in relation to aldrin and dieldrin:
(b)setting new limits in relation to endosulphan in crude vegetable oil; and
(c)replacing the term “fats” by the term “fats and oils” (regulation 2(3) and Schedule 1).
The Regulations also correct an omission in Schedule 6 and a typographical error in Schedule 3 of the Feeding Stuffs Regulations (regulations 2(2) and (4) and Schedule 2).
A full regulatory impact assessment, which includes a compliance cost assessment of the effect which these Regulations will have on business costs, has been prepared and placed in the Scottish Parliament Information Centre. Copies may be obtained from the Food Standards Agency (Scotland), 6th Floor, St Magnus House, 25 Guild Street, Aberdeen AB11 6NJ.
