Feeding Stuffs (Establishments and Intermediaries) Regulations 1999 (No. 1049 of 1998).

These Regulations, which extend to the United Kingdom, implement specified Community legislation in relation to feeding stuffs and inspections. The principal changes effected by the Regulations to the 1998 Regulations here repealed are as follows:(a) among the provisions referred to in paragraph 8 there are added a number which give effect to certain of the requirements of Directive 95/53/EC, including those relating to sampling and analysis and the manner of carrying out, and the frequency of, enforcement checks to be carried out by competent authorities; (b) these Regulations introduce, in relation to establishments located in third countries and their UK based representatives, as regards the specified products renewed reuirements; (c) certain provisions in the 1998 Regulations applied to establishments "located in a third country". In the corresponding provisions in these Regulations there is substituted for that expression reference to the relevant type of approved, permitted or registered third country establishment provided for in these Regulations; (d) in implementation of Articles 8 and 9 of Directive 98/51/EC, the Regulations prescribe the formats of the register and approval numbers provided for in Article 5 of Directive 95/69/EC and of the list and registration numbers provided for in Article 10 of that Directive;(e) the Regulations create a new offence of making a false statement in connection with the Regulations (regulation 107(b)); and (f) the Regulations omit from those definitions in regulations 3 and 4 which also appear in the 1998 Regulations all wording which is now spent.
