These Regulations amend the Meat Products (Hygiene) Regulations 1994 (S.I. 1994/3082) (“the principal Regulations”), as amended. Those Regulations extend to Great Britain only. These Regulations implement Council Directive 95/68/EC (OJ No. L332, 30.12.95, p. 10), which amends Council Directive 77/99/EEC on health problems affecting the production and marketing of meat products and certain other products of animal origin (see OJ No. L57, 2.3.92, p. 4 for the consolidated text of that last-mentioned Directive after amendments made to it by Council Directive 92/5/EEC). These Regulations also amend the principal Regulations to give effect to Article 1(9) of Council Directive 97/76/EC (OJ No. L10, 16.1.98, p. 25). The bulk of the Regulations comes into force on 31st March 1999. Regulation 2(10)(c) will come into force on 30th September 1999 and regulation 2(10)(g) and (k) on 31st March 2000.
