Abstract
The Regulations make provision in Northern Ireland for the administration and enforcement of Council Regulation (EC) No 1099/2009 on the protection of animals at the time of killing and certain national rules maintained or adopted under Article 26(1) and (2) of the EU Regulation (set out in Part 3 and Schedules 1 to 4). They, among other things: require to obtain an EU certificate of competence before killing animals or carrying out related operations in a slaughterhouse or to obtain a national licence before killing animals or carrying out related operations elsewhere than in a slaughterhouse; provide for enforcement; and define offences. Part 4 and Schedules 1 to 4 set out national rules that have been maintained or adopted in accordance with Article 26(1) and (2) of the EU Regulation to ensure more extensive protection of animals at the time of killing.
