Animal By-Products (Identification) (Amendment) (Wales) Regulations 2003 No. 1849 (W. 199) OPSI - Animal By-Products (Identification) (Amendment) (Wales) Regulations
Summary: These Regulations amend the Animal By-Products (Identification) Regulations 1995 (S.I. 1995/614, as already amended) in so far as they apply to Wales. Those Regulations in their application to Wales currently make provision for the sterilisation or staining of animal by-products and for the control of the movement of such by-products.


The effect of the amendments is that animal by-products may no longer be sterilised. Staining is now required in all cases, except where specified in regulation 5(2), 6(2) or 7(2) of the 1995 Regulations. The effect of the amendments is that staining is not required where an animal by-product is immediately moved in the manner specified in regulation 6(4) or, as the case may be, 7(3) of the 1995 Regulations to premises approved under article 7 of the Animal By-Products Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/646, as amended) for rendering there or to other premises for incineration there in accordance with article 10 of that Order.
