EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This does not form part of the Statutory Instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation.)

These Regulations transpose into national law Commission Implementing Regulation (EU 262/2015), which lays down rules regarding the methods for the identification of equidae within the EU. In accordance with this EU law, these Regulations also deal with the approval and maintenance of studbooks and organisations for the issuance of equine identification documents, as well as the movement and transport of equines. Requirements in relation to the updating of the central equine database are also detailed in these Regulations.

These Regulations revoke the provisions of S.I. No. 207/2014 (European Communities (Equine) Regulations 2014) as amended by S.I. 230/2015 and S.I. 291/2015. Regulations dealing with equine semen collection centres and ova or embryo collection and production teams contained in S.I. 357/2011 (as amended) remain in force.
