(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations implement in England a change in the restrictions on imports and exports of certain animals and animal products in accordance with Commission Decision 2001/268/EC amending Commission Decision 2001/172/EC concerning certain protection measures with regard to foot-and-mouth disease in the United Kingdom (OJ No. L 94, 3.4.2001, p/27).
The previous Regulations permitted the export of certain meat products and milk which had been processed in England if the meat and milk being processed originated outside the United Kingdom. These Regulations extend the area that the meat and milk may come from to Northern Ireland (other than the district of Newry and Mourne in the county of Armagh).
They continue to regulate the export of biungulates, fresh meat, meat products, milk, milk products and other animal products. They contain powers of inspectors, and provisions relating to illegal consignments.

Certificates issued in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are valid under these Regulations (regulation 20).
The Regulations are enforced in England by the Minister or the local authority (regulation 21).
