(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations make amendments to the Cattle Identification Regulations 2007 (S.I. 2007/529).
These amendments are consequential to the amendments made by Regulation (EU) No 653/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council to Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 as regards electronic identification of bovine animals and labelling of beef.
The amendments to Regulation 10 clarify the powers of inspectors, including extending the power to enter premises to include the use of reasonable force if necessary.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
1972 c. 68. Section 2(2) was amended by section 27 of the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Act 2006 (c. 51) and by section 3 of, and the Schedule to, the European Union (Amendment) Act 2008 (c. 7).
Regulation 12 was amended by S.I. 2012/2897.
