Abstract

The Regulations implement Commission Decision 2002/69/EC concerning certain protective measures with regard to the products of animal origin imported from China as amended by Commission Decision 2002/441/EC. The Regulations define "relevant product of animal origin" (reg. 2); prohibit (with exceptions which are specified in that definition) their importation (reg. 3); specify the enforcement authorities (reg. 4); and apply with modifications, for the purposes of the Regulations, certain provisions of the Food Safety (Northern Ireland) Order 1991 (reg. 5). The principal changes effected by the Regulations are that: (a) the exceptions referred to above are modified as regards the types of products to which, and the circumstances in which, they apply; and (b) a specific obligation is imposed on the consignor or consignee of any product subject to the Regulations, or his agent, to reimburse the relevant enforcement authority on demand in relation to the costs it incurs in relation to that product in complying with Commission Decision 2002/69/EC as amended.
