# The Animal Feed (Particular Nutritional Purposes and Miscellaneous Amendments) (Wales) Regulations 2020, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations make amendments to legislation in the field of feed safety and hygiene to provide for the execution and enforcement of Commission Regulation (EU) 2020/354 establishing a list of intended uses of feed intended for particular nutritional purposes and repealing Directive 2008/38/EC (OJ No. L67, 5.3.2020, p.1.).
Regulation 2 amends the Animal Feed (Composition, Marketing and Use) (Wales) Regulations 2016 (S.I. 2016/386 (W.120)), removing references to the repealed Directive 2008/38/EC and providing for enforcement of the new Regulation (EU) 2020/354. Regulation 2(2)(c) updates the references in those Regulations to specified EU instruments.
Regulation 3 amends the Animal Feed (Hygiene, Sampling etc. and Enforcement) (Wales) Regulations 2016 (S.I. 2016/387 (W. 121)), to add Regulation (EU) 2020/354 to the list of legislation that is defined as “specified feed law” for the purposes of those Regulations. Regulation 3(2) updates references in those Regulations to specified EU instruments.
The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations.
