# The Specified Risk Material (Amendment) (England) (No. 2) Regulations 2000, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
1 These Regulations make a further amendment to the Specified Risk Material Regulations 1997 (S.I. 1997/2965), as already amended in so far as they extend to England. The Specified Risk Material Regulations 1997 extend to Great Britain as a whole.
2 These Regulations give effect to Article 1 of a Commission Decision adopted on 27th December 2000. That Decision amends Commission Decision 2000/418/EC regulating the use of material presenting risks as regards transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (OJ No. L158, 30.6.2000, p. 76) by inserting a revised definition of specified risk material into its Annex I.
3 These Regulations amend the Specified Risk Material Regulations 1997 to bring the definition of “specified bovine material” in regulation 4(1) of that instrument into line with the revised definition of specified risk material in Annex I to Commission Decision 2000/418/EC.
4 A regulatory impact assessment has been prepared in respect of these Regulations. A copy of it has been placed in the Library of each House of Parliament. Further copies of the assessment can be obtained from the Meat Hygiene Division of the Food Standards Agency, Ergon House, Horseferry Road, London SW1P 3WG.
