Abstract

These 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. These Regulations define "relevant product of animal origin" (reg. 2); prohibit (with exceptions which are specified in that definition) their importation (regulation 3); specify the enforcement authorities (regulation 4) and apply with modifications, for the purposes of the Regulations, certain provisions of the Food Safety Act 1990 (reg. 5). The principal changes effected by these Regulations with respect to S.I. No. 183 of 2002 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.
