(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend Commission Decision 2000/572/EC (“2000/572/EC”) which lays down animal and public health conditions and veterinary certification for the importation of meat preparations from third countries.
Regulation 2 amends 2000/572/EC to remove the import condition that meat preparations from third countries have been deep-frozen at the production plant or plants of origin.
Regulation 3 revokes, in consequence, other instruments or the provisions of other instruments which modified that import condition.
The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations.
