EXPLANATORY NOTE

These Regulations revoke and remake The Export and Movement Restrictions (Foot-and-Mouth Disease) Regulations 2007. They implement Commission Decision 2007/554/EC as last amended by the Commission Decision of 5th December 2007 amending Decision 2007/554/EC concerning certain protection measures against foot-and-mouth disease in the United Kingdom (not yet published in the Official Journal). The Commission Decision of 5th December extends the categories of products derived from animals which may be exported, and extends the areas from which such export may take place.

They regulate—

• (b) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

• (e) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

They create an offence of offering to export anything which it is prohibited to export under the Regulations (regulation 16).

They provide powers for enforcement, and powers for officers of Revenue and Customs (regulations 20 to 22) and create an offence of obstruction (regulation 23).

Breach of the Regulations is an offence, punishable with up to two years’ imprisonment.

The Regulations are enforced by the Secretary of State or the local authority (regulation 28).

An impact assessment has not been prepared for these Regulations.
