# The Beef Special Premium (Amendment) Regulations 1995, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
1 These Regulations make two changes to the Beef Special Premium Regulations 1993 (S.I. 1993/1734 as already amended by S.I. 1994/3131, together referred to in this note as the “Existing Regulations”).
2 Like the Existing Regulations, these Regulations extend to Great Britain only.
3 The amendments are due to the making of the Bovine Animals (Records, Identification and Movement) Order 1995 (S.I. 1995/12), referred to in this note as the “BARIM Order”) which implements in the UK Council Directive 92/102/EEC (OJ No. L355, 5.12.92, p.32).
4 The BARIM Order replaces the Movement of Animals (Records) Order 1960 (S.I. 1960/105, to which amendments relevant to the Existing Regulations were made by S.I. 1961/1493 and S.I. 1989/879) and the Bovine Animals (Identification, Marking and Breeding Records) Order 1990 (S.I. 1990/1867, amended by S.I. 1993/503) (together referred to in this note as the “Existing Orders”). It requires bovine animals to be identified with uniquely numbered ear-tags from 1st April 1995 (referred to in this note as “uniquely identified”).
5 These Regulations amend the Existing Regulations by inserting a new paragraph, (5), into regulation 3 and by amending regulation 10(2)(b).
6 The new paragraph (5) in regulation 3 expressly qualifies the right to issue a national administrative document (which is necessary for the grant of premium). It does this by prohibiting its issue in relation to any animal in respect of which the identification provisions of the BARIM Order are contravened. This is inserted pursuant to Article 3(1) of Commission Regulation 3886/92 (which is defined in the Existing Regulations) which requires Member States to ensure that national administrative documents enable steps to be taken to ensure that one premium only is granted per animal; Article 3(1) is to be read with the opening of Article 59 of the same Regulation.
7 Regulation 10(2)(b) of the Existing Regulations requires, in certain circumstances, the retention of records made under the Existing Orders. It is amended to take account of their replacement by the BARIM Order.
