These Regulations continue to enforce Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies. They provide that the Welsh Ministers are the competent authority for the purposes of the EU TSE Regulation, except in Schedule 7 where the competent authority is the Food Standards Agency. The Regulations deal, among other things, with approvals, authorisations, licences and registrations, occupiers’ duties, suspension, amendment and revocations of approvals etc. controls, and an appeals procedure. Schedule 6 deals with feedingstuffs. Part 1 covers restrictions on feeding protein to animals and provides for the payment of compensation by Welsh Ministers for the slaughter of animals which have had access to unlawful feedingstuffs. Part 2 deals with controls on the production of protein and feedingstuffs.
