The purpose of this instrument is to ensure that Northern Ireland legislation relating to the controls and standards applied to trade in animals, animal products and bees and non-commercial movement of pet animals continues to be operable after the UK leaves the EU.
This instrument amends the following Northern Ireland legislation which was made under section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 (1972 Act):
- Northern Ireland Poultry Health Assurance Scheme Order (Northern Ireland) 2011;
- Trade in Animals and Related Products Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2011; and
- Non - Commercial Movement of Pet Animals Order (Northern Ireland) 2011.
It also revokes the Destructive Imported Animals Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993 which were also made under section 2(2) of the 1972 Act and amends the Destructive Imported Animals Act (Northern Ireland) 1993.
In addition, the instrument amends legislation relating to trade in germplasm made under the Artificial Reproduction of Animals (Northern Ireland) Order 1975, namely the:
- Artificial Insemination of Cattle Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1988;
- Artificial Insemination of Pigs (EEC) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993;
- Artificial Breeding of Sheep and Goats (EEC) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1994; and
- Bovine Embryo Collection, Production and Transplantation Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1996 (which also relied on powers contained in the Welfare of Animals Act (Northern Ireland) 1972).
It also amends the Sales, Markets and Lairs Order (Northern Ireland) 1975, the Rabies (Importation of Dogs, Cats and Other Mammals) Order (Northern Ireland) 1977 and the Animals (Post Import Control) Order (Northern Ireland) 1993 which were made under domestic Northern Ireland legislation relating to the diseases of animals and the Bee Diseases and Pests Control (Northern Ireland) Order 2007 which was made under the Bees (Northern Ireland) Order 1980.
