EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)


This Order, which extends to Scotland only, amends the Animal By-Products Order 1999, so as to prohibit the feeding to livestock of certain categories of catering waste, whether processed or unprocessed. It also removes the possibility of non-mammalian animal by products being rendered for the production of swill for feeding to pigs or poultry.

The Order has been notified in draft to the European Commission as a technical standard, in accordance with article 8 of Directive 1998/34/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (O.J. No. L 204, 21.7.98, p.37), as amended by Directive 1998/48/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (O.J. No. L 217, 5.8.98, p.18), which lays down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical standards and regulations.

A Regulatory Impact Assessment has been prepared and placed in the Scottish Parliament Information Centre. Copies can be obtained from SERAD, Livestock Animal Health and Welfare Branch, Room 358d, Pentland House, 47 Robb's Loan, Edinburgh EH14 1TY.
