Abstract

These Regulations transpose in Scotland, in relation to animal feed, Article 21 of Council Directive 2013/59/Euratom laying down basic safety standards for protection against the dangers arising from exposure to ionising radiation. The Regulation set out that a person must not deliberately add a radioactive substance in the production of feed and that a person must not import or export any animal feed to which a radioactive substance has been intentionally added during production. They also provide that it is an offence to fail to comply these rules, set out defences to offences under these Regulations and under section 74A(3) of the Agriculture Act 1970 and provide that it is the duty of each feed authority to enforce these Regulations in its area.
