These Regulations amend the Products of Animal Origin (Third Country Imports) (Scotland) Regulations 2002 (S.S.I. 2002/445) (“the principal Regulations”).
These Regulations implement Council Directive 97/78/EC, which lays down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (O.J. No. L 24, 30.1.98, p.9). They also give effect to the restriction on the importation of feathers from certain third countries contained in Commission Decision 2006/7/EC (O.J. No. L 5, 10.1.06, p.17) as amended by Commission Decision 2006/183/EC (O.J. No. L 65, 7.03.06, p.49).
Schedule 2 to the principal Regulations lists the import conditions with which products must comply, by reference to the relevant Community legislation. These Regulations amend Part VIII of Schedule 2 to the principal Regulations to refer to Commission Decision 2006/7/EC, as amended (regulation 2(2)(b)).
Amendments are also made to Schedule 2 to the principal Regulations to refer to Commission Decision 2006/79/EC which further amends Commission Decision 2005/760/EC (concerning certain protection measures in relation to highly pathogenic avian influenza in certain third countries for the import of captive birds) (O.J. No. L 285, 28.10.05, p.60) (regulation 2(2)(a)) and to update the reference to Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1774/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down health rules concerning animal by products not intended for human consumption (O.J. No. L 273, 10.10.02, p.1) (regulation 2(2)(c)).
