These Regulations make amendments to the Cattle Identification Regulations 2007 (S.I. 2007/529).

These amendments are consequential to the amendments made by Regulation (EU) No 653/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council to Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 as regards electronic identification of bovine animals and labelling of beef.

The amendments to Regulation 10 clarify the powers of inspectors, including extending the power to enter premises to include the use of reasonable force if necessary.

An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
