EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations implement, in part, Directive 2005/36/EC on the recognition of professional qualifications (OJ No. L 255, 30.09.2005, p 22, as amended by Council Directive 2006/100/EC, OJ No. L 363, 20.12.2006, p 141).

They amend the Farriers (Registration) Act 1975 (c. 35) to cross-refer appropriately to the European Communities (Recognition of Professional Qualifications) Regulations 2007 (S.I. 2007/2781).

They repeal paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 of the Schedule to the Farriers (Registration) (Amendment) Act 1977 (c. 31).

A full impact assessment has not been prepared for this instrument as no significant impact on the public, private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
