(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Animals and Animal Products (Import and Export) (England) Regulations 2006 (S.I. 2006/1471) ("the principal Regulations").
Regulation 2(3) amends the principal Regulations to give effect to the extension of the European Union ban under Commission Decision 2005/760/EC (OJ No. L 285, 28.10.2005, p. 52, as amended by Commission Decision 2006/522/EC, OJ No. L 205, 27.7.2006, p. 28) on the import of captive birds from third countries until 1st January 2007.
Regulation 2 of these Regulations also makes minor amendments to other provisions in the principal Regulations.
No regulatory impact assessment has been produced for these Regulations in view of the urgency required to give effect to the extension of the import ban in relation to captive birds, and because the other amendments have no impact on businesses.
