Abstract

These Regulations make provision in Wales for the administration and enforcement of 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 and for implementation of other EC instruments: It is an offence to collect, transport, dispose, store, process or use, category 1, category 2 or category 3 material other than in accordance with the Community Regulation (regs. 4, 5 and 6). It is a specific offence to collect, transport, identify or store animal by-products other than in accordance with the Community Regulation (reg. 8). Feeding unprocessed animal by-products to farmed animals is prohibited and access by such animals to animal by-products is controlled (reg. 9). Regulation 10 enforces the restrictions on use of animal by-products in Article 22 of the Community Regulation. Regulations 13 to 16 provide for the approval of premises for the different types of treatment of animal by-products. Regulations 17 to 21 provide for checks at plants, sampling and approved laboratories. Regulations 22 to 24 regulate the placing on the market of various processed animal by-products. Regulations 25 to 27 provide derogations relating to the use of animal by-products for taxidermy and feeding certain specified animals. Regulations 32 to 39 provide for record keeping. Under Regulations 43 to 45 an inspector can serve a notice requiring the disposal of animal by-product or catering waste and requiring cleansing and disinfection of any vehicle, container or premises.
