Bovines and Bovine Products (Trade) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1998
These Regulations give effect to Council Decision 98/256/EC on emergency measures to protect against bovine spongiform encephalopathy, in relation to the despatch to other member States and third countries of bovine animals and embryos and meat and other products from bovine animals. The Regulations revoke and replace the Bovines and Bovine Products (Despatch Prohibition and Production Restriction) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1997. The principle changes of substance are that the Regulations—make provision for derogations from the prohibition on the export of meat and meat products which are eligible under the Export Certified Herds Scheme;revise the conditions for the export of meat products and by-products produced in Northern Ireland from imported beef; andmake further provision in relation to the existing controls on products and by-products produced from United Kingdom slaughtered bovine animals.
