EXPLANATORY NOTE

These Regulations amend Schedule 5 (medicated feedingstuffs and specified feed additives) to the Veterinary Medicines Regulations 2011 (S.I. 2011/2159) (“the 2011 Regulations”).

Regulation 2 amends paragraph 7 of Schedule 5 to the 2011 Regulations to provide that manufacturers and distributors of feedingstuffs containing veterinary medicinal products must be approved (as required by Council Directive 90/167/EEC (OJ No L 92, 7.4.1990, p. 42)) in accordance with the conditions governing approval of feed business establishments under Regulation (EC) No 183/2005 (OJ No L 35, 8.2.2005, p. 1).

Regulation 3 makes it an offence to fail to comply with paragraph 17(2) and (3) of Schedule 5 to the 2011 Regulations.

Regulation 4 amends paragraph 22 of Schedule 5 to the 2011 Regulations to replace a reference to a repealed EU instrument, Council Directive 76/371/EEC (OJ No L 102, 15.4.1976, p. 1) with a reference to the current EU instrument, Commission Regulation (EC) No 152/2009 (OJ No L 54, 26.2.2009, p. 1).

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