These Regulations implement for England Council Directive 2003/43/EC (amending Directive 88/407/EEC laying down the animal health requirements applicable to intra-Community trade in and imports of semen of domestic animals of the bovine species). Council Directive 2003/43/EC imposes additional testing requirements for donor bulls and for semen intended for intra-Community trade. These additional testing requirements are set out in the amended Annexes to Directive 88/407. The requirements of both Directives are implemented principally by regulation 9A of the 1985 Regulations. Regulation 2(3)(a) of these Regulations amends the definition of "the Directive" in regulation 2(1) of the 1985 Regulations so that it means Directive 88/407 as amended by Directive 2003/43/EC. These Regulations also make amendments to reflect the transfer of functions to the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs following the dissolution of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food.
