  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations implement the Windsor Framework, in particular Article 9 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1231 (OJ No. L 165, 29.6.2023, p.103), in respect of the movement of certain rest of the world retail goods from Great Britain to Northern Ireland.\nPart 2 of these Regulations makes amendments to assimilated direct legislation and the Official Controls (Plant Health) (Frequency of Checks) Regulations 2022 (S.I. 2022/739) to adjust the entry requirements for certain plants so that they match the requirements for entry of those rest of the world retail goods into Northern Ireland.\nPart 3 of these Regulations incorporates certain provisions of the EU Animal Health Law and implementing and delegated acts (as defined in regulation 5) into domestic law, subject to caveats and modifications, in relation to Thai and Chinese poultry meat products. Part 3 also disapplies corresponding provisions in domestic law.\nIn connection with this, Part 3 additionally provides for revised model certificates to be published by the appropriate authority. Such certificates will be published at www.gov.uk/government/collections/health-certificates-for-animal-and-animal-product-imports-to-great-britain#products-of-animal-origin.\nPart 3 also sets out the additional requirement that poultry meat products which are required to undergo a risk-mitigating treatment must originate from an establishment on the list of establishments approved for entry of those products into the EU.\nPart 4 of these Regulations makes transitional provision for a period of three months during which Thai and Chinese poultry meat products may continue to enter Great Britain if they comply with the domestic provisions which applied prior to the entry into force of Part 3.\nA full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sector is foreseen.",
