EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Official Controls (Extension of Transitional Periods) Regulations 2021 and the Meat Preparations (Amendment and Transitory Modification) (Wales) (EU Exit) Regulations 2021.

Regulation 2 amends the Official Controls (Extension of Transitional Periods) Regulations 2021 to extend, in relation to Wales, the end date of the “transitional staging period” from 31 December 2022 to 31 January 2024.

Regulation 3 amends the Meat Preparations (Amendment and Transitory Modification) (Wales) (EU Exit) Regulations 2021 to extend the temporary suspension of the requirement for meat preparations to be deep frozen where they are imported into Wales from EEA member States, the Faroe Islands, Greenland or Switzerland, bringing it into line with the date appointed as the extended end date of the “transitional staging period” (regulation 2).
