It makes provision for the enforcement in Northern Ireland of Article 13 of Commission Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 laying down lists of third countries, territories or parts thereof authorised for the introduction into the European Union of certain animals and fresh meat and the veterinary certification requirements (OJ No L 73, 20.3.2010, p1, as read with the Corrigenda published in OJ No L 146, 11.6.2010, p1).\nArticle 13 of that Regulation imposes conditions that apply following the introduction of certain species of queen bees and bumble bees (Apis mellifera and Bombus spp.) from third countries into Northern Ireland.\nThis Order also amends Article 12(1) of the 2007 Order so that its provisions also apply in cases where notifiable disease is known or suspected.\nBreach of the 2007 Order, as amended by this Order, is an offence under Article 3(7) of the Bees (Northern Ireland) Order 1980.\nA full impact assessment has not been produced for this Order as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.\nA transposition note in relation to the implementation of Article 13 of the Regulation has been prepared.
