Explanatory note

This note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general effect.

These regulations, which come into force on the 28th day after the date of their notification in the Gazette, revoke regulation 36 and Schedule 2 of the Animal Remedies Regulations 1980.

Regulation 36 currently provides for restrictions on the supply and use of the animal remedies listed in Schedule 2, which sets out various restrictions for each animal remedy. With the rapidly changing pace of developments in relation to animal remedies, these restrictions are more appropriately catered for by the imposition, under sections 22 and 22A of the Animal Remedies Act 1967, of specific conditions on the animal remedy licences for each trade name product that contains the substances of concern.
