These Regulations amend the Products of Animal Origin (Third Country Imports) (Scotland) Regulations 2002 (“the principal Regulations”) which implement Council Directive 97/78/EC laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (O.J. No. L 24, 30.1.98, p.9).
Regulation 2 amends Part VIII of Schedule 2 of the principal Regulations to give effect to Council Directive 2002/33/EC (O.J. No. L 315, 19.11.2002, p.14) which amends the existing controls on the importation of animal by-products by introducing into Council Directive 90/425/EEC (O.J. No. L 224, 18.8.1990, p.29) (which sets out veterinary requirements for checks on such products) the terms of Council Regulation 1774/2002 (O.J. No. L 273, 10.10.2002, p.1). That Regulation lays down health rules concerning animal by-products intended for human consumption.
A Regulatory Impact Assessment has not been prepared in respect of these Regulations.
