The Food Safety (Live Bivalve Molluscs and Other Shellfish) (Import Conditions and Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 1994
These Regulations create import conditions for live bivalve molluscs and other shellfish which are imported into Great Britain, other than those which are imported from Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands. In the process of so doing, they implement the remaining parts of Council Directive 91/492/EEC laying down the health conditions for the production and placing on the market of live bivalve molluscs which were not implemented by the Food Safety (Live Bivalve Molluscs and Other Shellfish) Regulations 1992 (“the principal Regulations”). These Regulations also implement Council Decision 93/383/EEC on reference laboratories for the monitoring of biotoxins in relation to imported live bivalve molluscs and other shellfish only, as this Decision does not require legislation for its implementation in relation to domestic live bivalve molluscs and other shellfish.
