Explanatory note

This Order amends the Products of Animal Origin (Disease Control) (Wales) Regulations 2008 (S.I. 2008/1275 (W. 132)) (“the 2008 Regulations”). The definitions of “disease” and “restricted meat” in the 2008 Regulations are updated, and a new Schedule 2 is substituted into the 2008 Regulations to reflect the current approved risk mitigating treatments for meat and casings.

The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to this Order. 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 this Order.
