These Regulations amend the definition of “scheme animal” in regulation 2(1) of the Specified Bovine Material (Treatment and Disposal) (No. 3) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1996 with the effect that various requirements of those regulations requiring the separation of specified bovine material and other animal parts, which are already disapplied in relation to the carcases of animals slaughtered pursuant to the purchase, slaughter and disposal scheme introduced under Commission Regulation (EC) No. 716/96, are now similarly disapplied in relation to the carcases of animals slaughtered in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 2 to the Diseases of Animals (Northern Ireland) Order 1981 as animals exposed to the infection of bovine spongiform encephalopathy.
