(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations, which extend to England only, amend the provisions of the Pig Carcase (Grading) Regulations 1994. The 1994 Regulations provide for the administration and enforcement of the Community system of grading pig carcases established by Council Regulation (EEC) No. 3220/84 (OJ No. L301, 20.11.84 p.1) as amended, the detailed rules for which are set out in Commission Regulation (EEC) No. 2967/85 (OJ No. L285, 25.10.85, p.39) and Commission Decision 2004/370/EC (OJ No. L116, 22.4.2004, p.32).
These Regulations amend the 1994 Regulations so as to take account of Commission Decision 2004/370/EC. This Decision sets out the methods which are authorised for use for grading pig carcases pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No. 3220/84. It replaces, with minor amendments as to the formulae to be applied to predict lean meat percentages of pig carcases, Commission Decision 88/234/EEC and various amending Decisions.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been prepared for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business.
