Fresh Meat (Import Conditions) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1997
These Regulations implement Council Directives 72/461/EEC and 72/462/EEC as amended. The Regulations also implement Commission Directive 94/59/EC which amends the Annexes to Council Directive 77/96/EEC on the examination for Trichinae upon importation from third countries of fresh meat derived from domestic swine. They provide that the Landing of Carcases and Animal Products Order (Northern Ireland) 1985 and the Imported Food Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1991 shall not apply to fresh meat (regulation 15) and modify certain enforcement provisions of the Products of Animal Origin (Import and Export) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993 in their application to fresh meat to which these Regulations apply (regulation 16).
