These Regulations amend, with respect to Wales, the Bovines and Bovine Products (Trade) Regulations 1999. They lift the prohibition on the production of collagen derived from bovine animals slaughtered in the United Kingdom and intended for human consumption in the United Kingdom. The prohibition on export of such collagen from Great Britain remains in force. They make consequential amendments to regulation 9 of the 1999 Regulations to enable use of such collagen in products for human consumption in the United Kingdom. The Regulations also impose requirements on the production of collagen derived from a bovine animal slaughtered in the United Kingdom and intended for human consumption in the United Kingdom until the end of 2005. The Regulations apply to domestic production requirements that reflect those which, under Council Directive 92/118/EEC, apply to production of collagen for human consumption for intra-Community trade. They further require establishments producing collagen, and collection centres and tanneries supplying the raw materials for such production, to be authorized in accordance with regulations 4 and 5 respectively of the Collagen and Gelatine (Intra-Community Trade) (Wales) Regulations 2003 which implement the requirements of Commission Decision 2003/721/EC amending Council Directive 92/118/EEC (The Schedule, Part 1); and provide that contravention of the requirements of regulation 6 is an offence, specify penalties for that offence, apply certain provisions of the Food Safety Act 1990 for the purposes of regulation 6 and 7, and provide for the enforcement of regulation 6 by the relevant food authority (regs. 7, 8 and 9).
