EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)


These Regulations amend the Feedingstuffs (Zootechnical Products) Regulations 1999 (S.I. 1999/1871) and the Medicated Feedingstuffs Regulations 1998 (S.I. 1998/1046) in relation to England, Scotland and Wales.

The Feedingstuffs (Zootechnical Products) Regulations 1999 implement in relation to zootechnical feedingstuffs a number of Community instruments including Council Directive 95/69/EC (OJ No. L 332, 30.12.95, p. 15) laying down the conditions and arrangements for the approval and registration of establishments and intermediaries operating in the animal feed sector.

The first effect of the amendments made by these Regulations (regulation 2(2) and Parts 1 and 2 of the Schedule) is to raise the level of fees charged under the Feedingstuffs (Zootechnical Products) Regulations 1999 for applications and subsequent official checks in respect of establishments for which approvals are sought and held for the various activities that the manufacture and production of zootechnical feedingstuffs involves.

The Medicated Feedingstuffs Regulations 1998 implement Council Directive 90/167/EEC (OJ No. L 92, 7.4.90, p. 42) laying down the conditions governing the preparation, placing on the market and use of medicated feedingstuffs in the Community.

The second effect of the amendments made by these Regulations (regulation 3(2) and Parts 3 and 4 of the Schedule) is to raise the level of fees charged under the Medicated Feedingstuffs Regulations for applications and subsequent official checks in respect of establishments for which approvals are sought and held for the various activities that the manufacture, production and distribution of medicated feedingstuffs involves.

The changes are itemised in the table below.

A Regulatory Impact Assessment has been prepared and a copy has been placed in the library of each House of Parliament. Copies may be obtained from the Veterinary Medicines Directorate, Woodham Lane, New Haw, Addlestone, Surrey, KT15 3LS.
