These Regulations revoke and re–enact with certain changes the Bovine Products (Restriction on Placing on the Market) (England) Regulations 2005 (S.I. 2005/2719), which gave effect in relation to England to Article 1.1 of Commission Decision 2005/598/EC prohibiting the placing on the market of products derived from bovine animals born or reared within the United Kingdom before 1st August 1996 for any purpose and exempting such animals from certain control and eradication measures laid down in Regulation (EC) No. 999/2001 (OJ No. L204, 5.8.2005, p.22). In doing so, these Regulations ensure that that Article continues to have effect in relation to England.
