EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations make provision complementary to EU Regulation 1099/2009 on the protection of animals at the time of killing (“the EU Regulation”) and the Welfare of Animals at the Time of Killing (England) Regulations 2015 (“the 2015 Regulations”).
These Regulations introduce requirements on operators of slaughterhouses (“business operators”) in England to install and operate a closed circuit television (CCTV) system in all areas where live animals are present (regulation 3). Regulation 4 requires business operators to retain CCTV footage and associated data for a period of 90 days. Inspectors are given powers to require compliance with these Regulations. This includes powers of inspection and seizure where an inspector has entered premises for the purposes of executing and enforcing the 2015 Regulations or the EU Regulation (regulation 5) and powers to issue enforcement notices (regulation 6).
Regulation 7 makes provision for appeals relating to notices under regulation 6, and regulation 8 makes further provision in relation to notices.
Regulations 9 and 10 provide that contravention of regulations 3 and 4, failure to comply with an enforcement notice and obstructing inspectors are offences.
Regulations 11 to 14 make further provision in relation to offences and prosecutions.
Regulation 15 requires the Secretary of State to review the operation and effect of the Regulations and publish a report by 4 May 2023 and within every five years thereafter.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no significant impact on the private, voluntary or public sectors is foreseen.
