Entry into force notes

These Regulations will come into force on 20 November 2000.

Resumen

These Regulations give effect in part to Article 3.1 of Commission Decision 2000/418/EC regulating the use of material presenting risks as regards transmissible spongiform encephalopathies. That provision requires member States to ensure that certain material from cattle, sheep and goats is removed and destroyed in accordance with the Annex to the Decision. The principal amendment to the 1997 Regulations is to bring the definition of "specified risk material" in regulation 2(1) of S.R. 1997 No. 552 into line with the definition of that phrase in Commission Decision 2000/418/EC. As a consequence, an amendment is made to regulation 24(9)(b)(ii) of S.R. No. 552, which regulates the disposal of tallow derived from certain specified risk material. A consequential amendment is also made to regulation 14 (prohibition on the removal of brain and eyes). S.R. 1997 No. 552 is further amended so that: (a) whole carcases of sheep and goats are deemed to be specified risk material if they are removed to be rendered or incinerated whole from the place where they were slaughtered or died; and (b) whole carcases of bovines are deemed to be specified risk material if they are removed to be rendered or incinerated whole from the place where they were slaughtered or died.
