Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
1These Regulations amend for the third time the Feeding Stuffs Regulations (Wales) 2001 (S.I. 2001/343 (W.15), “the principal Regulations”).
2These Regulations apply to Wales only. The Feeding Stuffs (Amendment) Regulations 2002 (S.I. 2002/892, “the England and Wales Regulations”), which implement the same changes in England as are made in respect of Wales by these Regulations, contain two provisions which also apply to Wales and Northern Ireland. Regulation 3 of the England and Wales Regulations applies to England, Wales and Northern Ireland in so far as it relates to regulation 11 (as amended by the England and Wales Regulations) or 12 of the principal Regulations. Regulation 5 of the England and Wales Regulations also applies to England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
3These Regulations implement—
aCommission Directive 2001/79/EC amending Council Directive 87/153/EEC fixing guidelines for the assessment of additives in animal nutrition (OJ No. L267, 6.10.2001, p.1);
bCouncil Directive 2001/102/EC amending Directive 1999/29/EC on the undesirable substances and products in animal nutrition (OJ No. L6, 10.1.2002, p.45); and
cCommission Directive 2002/1/EC amending Directive 94/39/EC as regards animal feedingstuffs for the support of liver function in case of chronic liver insufficiency.
4These Regulations also provide for the enforcement of the following Regulations—
aCommission Regulation (EC) No. 2013/2001 concerning the provisional authorisation of a new additive use and the permanent authorisation of an additive in feedingstuffs (OJ No. L272, 13.10.2001, p.24);
bCommission Regulation (EC) No. 2200/2001 concerning provisional authorisation of additives in feedingstuffs (OJ No. L299, 15.11.2001, p.1); and
cCommission Regulation (EC) No. 256/2002 concerning the provisional authorisation of an additive and the permanent authorisation of an additive in feedingstuffs (OJ No. L41, 13.2.2002, p.6).
5These Regulations—
amodify the provisions of the principal Regulations which provide for the enforcement of the provisions of those Regulations which are made under the European Communities Act 1972 (regulation 5);
badd three new Commission Regulations to the list of Commission Regulations under which authorisation for the marketing of feed additives has been granted which is contained in Schedule 3 to the principal Regulations (regulation 7 and Schedule 1);
cmodify the controls in the principal Regulations regulating the presence of undesirable substances in animal feed by specifying new maximum levels for Dioxin in feed (regulation 8 and Schedule 2);
dmodify the provisions of the principal Regulations regulating dietetic feeds as regards the required nutritional characteristics and labelling of feeds intended for the support of liver function in case of chronic liver insufficiency in dogs or cats (regulation 10 and Schedule 3);
emake amendments to the principal Regulations to correct minor errors in them (regulations 4 and 9); and
fmake consequential amendments to those Regulations and to the Feeding Stuffs (Sampling and Analysis) Regulations 1999 (S.I.1999/1663), the Feeding Stuffs (Establishments and Intermediaries) Regulations 1999 (S.I. 1999/1872) and the Feeding Stuffs (Enforcement) Regulations 1999 (S.I. 1999/2325) (regulations 3, 6 and 11 to 13).
gNote also the effect of the England and Wales Regulations referred to in paragraph 2 above, which modify the provisions of the principal Regulations which specify the procedure to be followed in relation to the assessment of feed additives for which marketing authorisation has been sought and as regards applications for such authorisation (regulations 3 and 5 of the England and Wales Regulations).
6A regulatory appraisal has been prepared in respect of these Regulations and a copy placed in the library of the National Assembly for Wales, together with a transposition note setting out how the main elements of the Directives referred to in paragraph 3 above are transposed into domestic law by these Regulations. Copies may be obtained on request from the Food Standards Agency (Wales), 1st Floor, Southgate House, Wood Street, Cardiff CF10 1EW.
