This Order revokes and re-enacts, with certain changes, the Food (Animals and Animal Products from Belgium) (Emergency Control) (No. 4) Order (Northern Ireland) 1999 (S.R. 1999 No. 420 — “the revoked Order”) and implements, in relation to food, Commission Decision 2000/150/EC amending Decision 1999/788/EC on protective measures with regard to contamination by dioxins of certain products of porcine and poultry origin intended for human or animal consumption (O.J. No. L50, 23.2.00, p. 25).
The Order defines ‘relevant animal product' (Article 1(2)), prohibits (with exceptions (Article 2)) the carrying out of commercial operations relating thereto (Article 3), specifies the enforcement authority (Article 4) and applies with modifications provisions of the Food Safety (Northern Ireland) Order 1991 (Article 5).
This Order, by referring to Decision 1999/788/EC as amended, makes the following changes of substance—
(a)it narrows the coverage of the revoked Order in that, from the list of products subject to the controls contained in that Order and to be used for food, the following are removed, namely eggs, egg products, certain products containing eggs or egg products, rendered fats and processed animal proteins; and
(b)it reflects changes (consequential on the changes referred to in paragraph (a)) to the certification requirements for the importation from Belgium of products remaining subject to controls and for the return to Belgium of those products.
