In accordance with our legislative obligations under section 14a of the Animal Health Act 1981 Defra is inviting comments on the proposed Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies Regulations 2008.
The proposed new Regulations would update and replace the existing Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (No.2) Regulations 2006, which would be revoked. They include changes that have been made in response to several developments including reviews of procedure, changes to European legislation, and certain technical changes.
Comments may be submitted on any aspect of the proposals.
The closing date for responses to this consultation is 26 June 2008.
