Abstract

These Regulations amend the Trade in Animals and Related Products (Scotland) Regulations 2012 to transfer the functions of the enforcement authority, outwith border inspection posts, to the Scottish Ministers in relation to aquatic animals and aquaculture animal products. “Aquatic animal” has the same meaning as in Council Directive 2006/88/EC on animal health requirements for aquaculture animals and products thereof, and on the prevention and control of certain diseases in aquatic animals; and “aquaculture animal product” means any product of an aquaculture animal to which Article 6(1), 8(1) or (3) or 12(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1251/2008 implementing Council Directive 2006/88/EC as regards conditions and certification requirements for the placing on the market and the import into the Community of aquaculture animals and products thereof and laying down a list of vector species applies.
