Animals and Animal Products (Import and Export) (Wales) Regulations 2006 (W.S.I. No. 1536 (W.153) of 2006).

These Regulations implement for Wales Community legislation laying down the principles governing the organization of veterinary checks on animals entering the Community from third countries and concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market. They prohibit the exportation, importation or transportation for intra-Community trade of any animal or animal product to which Directive 90/425/EEC applies except in accordance with the provisions of these Regulations and provide a statutory basis for the Poultry Health Scheme, which is established for approval and monitoring poultry establishments engaging in intra-Community trade of poultry and hatching eggs. The Regulations also set out the procedures and requirements for the registration of dealers in animals and animal products and regulate the importation of animals from third countries which undergo the requisite veterinary border checks on arrival at another member State.
