Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

EXPLANATORY NOTE

These Regulations amend the Animal By-Products Regulations 2005 (the 2005 Regulations) to include the Isle of Wight as a remote area for the purposes of Article 24(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down health rules concerning animal by-products not intended for human consumption (OJ No L 273, 10.10.2002, p 1).

This amendment to the 2005 Regulations will enable the disposal of certain categories of animal by-products on the Isle of Wight by burning or burial on site, provided that the disposal is done in accordance with Part C of Annex II to Commission Regulation (EC) No 811/2003 implementing Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the intra-species recycling ban for fish, the burial and burning of animal by-products and certain transitional measures (OJ No L 117, 13.5.2003, p 14).

An impact assessment has not been prepared for these Regulations, due to the need to take urgent action to ensure that a legal means of safe disposal of fallen stock is available to farmers on the Isle of Wight and to avoid a potential risk to public and animal health. No significant impact on the private, public or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
