(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order approves the Veterinary Surgeons (Registration Appeals) Rules 2008 (“the 2008 Rules”). The 2008 Rules revoke and remake the Veterinary Surgeons (Registration Appeals) Rules 2004, in order to cross-refer to the Veterinary Surgeons Act 1966 to give effect to Directive 2005/36/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the recognition of professional qualifications (OJ No L 255, 30.09.2005, p 22) in so far as it applies to the practice of veterinary surgery in the United Kingdom.

A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no significant impact on the public, private and voluntary sectors is foreseen.
