Abstract

These Regulations implement amendments to Commission Regulation (EC) No. 999/2001 made by Commission Regulation (EC) No. 727/2007, with the exception of certain provisions that were suspended by a judgement of the European Court of First Instance on 28th September 2007 (points 2(3)(b)(iii), 2(3)(d) and 4 of Annex VII to Regulation. The Regulations provide that the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development is the competent authority for the purposes of the Community Regulation and deal with approvals, authorizations, licences and registrations, occupier’s duties, suspension, amendment and revocations of approvals, etc., and an appeals procedure. The Schedules to the Regulations deal, among other things with: (a) monitoring for the disease; (b) control and eradication of the disease in bovine animals; (c) control and eradication of the disease in sheep and goats; (d) feedingstuffs and specified risk material; and (e) placing on the market or export to third countries of live bovine animals and products derived from them.
