EXPLANATORY NOTE

These Regulations amend the Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (England) Regulations 2010 (S.I. 2010/801) (“the principal Regulations”).

A new regulation 15A is introduced into the principal Regulations to provide for the service of notices.

In Schedule 3, paragraph 9 (amount of compensation payable) is substituted so that the compensation payable to the keeper of animals killed under the principal Regulations is based upon sale price data for animal categories as identified in the table in paragraph 9(6) (which contains some revised categories).

Schedule 4 to the principal Regulations is amended to take account of amendments to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (OJ No. L147, 31.5.2001, p.1).

Minor corrections are made to Schedules 2 and 6 to the principal Regulations.

A full impact assessment of the effect that this instrument will have on the costs of business and the voluntary sector is available on the government website at www.gov.uk/defra, and can be found with the Explanatory Memorandum alongside this instrument at www.legislation.gov.uk.
