These Regulations amend the Trade in Animals and Related Products (Scotland) Regulations 2012 in relation with compliance of disposal of products under regulation 23(3)(b) with Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down health rules as regards animal by-products and derived products not intended for human consumption.
