Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations.)
These Regulations amend the Animals and Animal Products (Examination for Residues and Maximum Residue Limits) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1998 (“the 1998 Regulations”).
The amendment reflects EC law in the area of horse passports, namely, Commission Decision 2000/68/EC of 22nd December 1999 amending Commission Decision 93/623/EEC and establishing the identification of equidae for breeding and production, insofar as it calls for qualification of the prohibition in the 1998 Regulations against administration to food producing animals of veterinary medicinal products containing substances not listed in Annexes I, II or III to Council Regulation (EEC) No. 2377/90 of 26th June 1990 laying down a Community procedure for the establishment of maximum residue limits of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin (O.J. No. L224, 18.8.90, p. 1).
