# The Animal By-Products (Enforcement) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2015, Note: Explanatory note

Extent: E+W+S+NI

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Animal By-Products (Enforcement)(England) Regulations 2013 (S.I. 2013/2952) (“the 2013 Regulations”).
Regulations 2 and 4 make amendments correcting typographical errors included in the 2013 Regulations.
Regulations 3, 7, 8 and 9 implement Article 15 of Commission Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 implementing Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 of the European Parliament and the Council laying down health rules as regards animal by-products and derived products not intended for human consumption (OJ No L 54, 26.2.2011, p 1) (“the EU Implementing Regulation”). The EU Implementing Regulation was amended by Commission Regulation No 2015/9 of 6th January 2015 amending Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 implementing Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down health rules as regards animal by-products and derived products not intended for human consumption (OJ No L 3, 7.1.2015, p 10).
Article 15 of the EU implementing Regulation confers powers on the Member State to derogate from the general requirements on disposal of Category 3 material in Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down health rules as regards animal by-products and derived products not intended for human consumption (OJ No L 300, 14.11.2009, p 1) (“the EU Control Regulation”). The derogation allows for small quantities of Category 3 material set out in in Article 10(f) of the EU Control Regulation to be disposed of as authorised by the Member State subject to compliance with the requirements in Chapter IV of Annex VI to the EU Implementing Regulation.
The power to derogate was contained in a transitional provision in Article 36 of the EU Implementing Regulation and was implemented in England by regulation 29 of the 2013 Regulations. Regulations 3, 7, 8 and 9 of this instrument have the effect of enabling the derogation from general rules on disposal of Category 3 material, in Article 14 of the EU Control Regulation, to continue.
Regulations 5 and 6 correct errors in regulations 10 and 23 of the 2013 Regulations.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sectors is foreseen.
