These Regulations are made in exercise of the powers conferred by section 8(1) of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (c.16) in order to address the failures of retained EU legislation to operate effectively and other deficiencies (in particular paragraphs (a), (d) and (g) of section 8(2)) arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union.

These Regulations amend domestic legislation applying to Northern Ireland that provides enforcement of-

(a)the Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies;

(b)the Animal By-Products Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 laying down health rules as regards animal by-products and derived products not intended for human consumption; and

(c)Commission Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 implementing Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009.

An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on private, voluntary or public sector is foreseen.
