These Regulations implement Commission Directive 2003/126/EC on the analytical method for the determination of constituents of animal origin for the official control of feedingstuffs.
These Regulations amend the Feeding Stuffs (Sampling and Analysis) Regulations 1999 by providing that where a microscopic examination is carried out for specified purposes, the procedure set out in Commission Directive 2003/126/EC shall be used (regulation 2(2)).
