EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations, which extend to Scotland only, further amend the Food Safety (General Food Hygiene) Regulations 1995 (S.I. 1995/1763 as already amended) ("the 1995 Regulations") which extend to the whole of Great Britain.
These Regulations implement Commission Directive 2004/4/EC amending Directive 96/3/EC granting a derogation from certain provisions of Council Directive 93/43/EEC on the hygiene of foodstuffs as regards the transport of bulk liquid oils and fats by sea (O.J. No. L 15, 22.1.04, p.25) by substituting a revised definition of the phrase "list of acceptable previous cargoes for liquid oils of fats" for the existing definition of that phrase in regulation 2(1) of the 1995 Regulations (regulation 2(2)). The revised definition now refers to the list set out in the Annex to Commission Directive 96/3/EC (O.J. No. L 21, 27.1.96, p.42) as replaced by the Annex to Commission Directive 2004/4/EC.
Chapter IV of Schedule 1 to the 1995 Regulations provides that the bulk transport in sea-going vessels of liquid oils or fats which are to be processed and which are intended for or are likely to be used for human consumption is permitted in tanks that are not exclusively reserved for the transport of foodstuffs if a specified number of previous cargoes transported in the tanks were from the "list of acceptable previous cargoes for liquid oils or fats" as defined in regulation 2(1) of the 1995 Regulations.
No Regulatory Impact Assessment has been prepared in relation to these Regulations.
