The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, being designated[1] for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972[2] in relation to the Common Agricultural Policy of the European Community, in exercise of the powers conferred on her by that section, having carried out any consultation required by Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No. 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council (laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety[3]) makes the following Regulations: Title, commencement and extent 1. These Regulations may be cited as the Feedingstuffs (Zootechnical Products) (Amendment) (England, Scotland and Wales) Regulations 2002; they extend to England, Scotland and Wales and come into force on 31st March 2002. Amendment of the Feedingstuffs (Zootechnical Products) Regulations 1999 2. In so far as they extend to England, Scotland and Wales, the Feedingstuffs (Zootechnical Products) Regulations 1999[4] ("the principal Regulations") are amended in accordance with these Regulations. Amendment and substitution of regulations 3. At the end of the definition of "the MF Regulations" in regulation 2(1) of the principal regulations there are inserted the words "as amended by the Medicated Feedingstuffs (Amendment) (England, Scotland and Wales) Regulations 2002". 4. The following regulation is substituted for regulation 75 of the principal Regulations -
(2) The occupier of premises specified in Part II of Schedule 3, and intermediaries specified in Part III, shall pay to the enforcement authority the annual fee specified in the Schedule for carrying out official checks within 30 days of the notice from the enforcement authority requiring it; except that this shall not apply in relation to premises approved for the manufacture of medicated premixes under the Medicine Act 1968[5].".
Substitution for Schedule 3
Notes 1. If an application of an approval under regulation 10(1)(a) is made at the same time as an application relating to those premises for a manufacturer's licence to manufacture medicated premix under the Medicines Act 1968, no fee is payable under these Regulations. 2. If premises used for manufacturing zootechnical compound feedingstuffs are inspected for an official check at the same time as they are inspected for the renewal of an approval under the MF Regulations, no fee is payable in relation to the zootechnical compound feedingstuffs. 3. Where more than one of the above activities is carried out at one premises, only one fee is payable, which shall be the highest fee payable for any one of those activities. (This note is not part of the Regulation) These Regulations amend the Feedingstuffs (Zootechnical Products) Regulations 1999 in so far as they extend to England, Scotland and Wales. The 1999 Regulations as amended continue to implement, in relation to zootechnical additives and products with those additives in them, a number of community instruments including in particular Council Directive 95/69 (OJ No. L332, 30.12.95, p.15) laying down the conditions and arrangements for approving and registering certain establishments and intermediaries operating in the animal feed sector. They provide (at regulation 4 and 5 and the Schedule) for new fees for approval of, and official checks carried out at, premises manufacturing zootechnical additives, premixtures and/or feedingstuffs incorporating zootechnical additives or premixtures. The existing fees structure for these matters is changed. Previously fees were payable under this legislation on application for approval, but not for the official checks carried out to ensure continuing compliance with the requirements of these Regulations. The new system specifies on fee payable under this legislation for initial approval and each year thereafter to cover the costs of these official checks. These Regulations also set out the fees payable for the UK carrying out certain specified functions in connection with the application for the European Community authorisation of zootechnical feed additives. A Regulatory Impact Assessment has been prepared and has been placed in the library of each House of Parliament.
