The Official Controls (Extension of Transitional Periods) (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2024
These Regulations make changes to “the transitional staging period” (“the TSP”), which is defined in paragraph 2 of Annex 6 to Regulation (EU) 2017/625 of the European Parliament and of the Council on official controls and other official activities performed to ensure the application of food and feed law, rules on animal health and welfare, plant health and plant protection products (EUR 2017/625) (“the Official Controls Regulation”). During the TSP, the requirements for certain official documents to accompany goods on entry into Great Britain and for the performance of official controls in relation to some categories of animals, plants and other goods imported into Great Britain from “relevant third countries” (also defined in Annex 6 to the Official Controls Regulation) have been temporarily eased. These Regulations extend the TSP by amending its end date to 29th April (regulation 2).
