(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations further amend the Animals and Animal Products (Examination for Residues and Maximum Residue Limits) Regulations 1997.
The amendment reflects EC law in the area of horse passports, namely, Commission Decision 2000/68/EC of 22nd December 1999 amending Commission Decision 93/623/EEC and establishing the identification of equidae for breeding and production, insofar as it calls for qualification of the prohibition in the 1997 Regulations against the use in food producing animals of veterinary medicinal products containing substances not listed in Annexes I, II or III to Council Regulation (EEC) No. 2377/90 of 26th June 1990 laying down a Community procedure for the establishment of maximum residue limits of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin (OJ No. L224, 18.8.90, p. 1).
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business.
