EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)


     1. These Regulations amend the Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (No. 2) Regulations 2006 (S.I. 2006/1228), which provide for the enforcement in relation to England of 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) as amended by and as read with the Community instruments set out in Schedule 1 to S.I. 2006/1228.

     2. The amendment is that a revised Schedule 6 is inserted into S.I. 2006/1228.

     3. Schedule 6 to S.I. 2006/1228 currently provides for the enforcement of Annex XIA to Regulation (EC) No. 999/2001 (concerning specified risk material, mechanically recovered meat and slaughtering techniques).

     4. By virtue of Article 22(1) of Regulation (EC) 999/2001, the provisions contained in Annex XIA to that Regulation were of a transitional nature pending the adoption of a Decision under Article 5(2) or (4) of that Regulation determining the BSE status of countries according to their BSE risk, following which Annex V to Regulation (EC) No. 999/2001 (introduced by Article 8 thereof) would apply in relation to specified risk material.
