Question
To ask the Scottish Executive what arrangements have been made for the undertaking of checks on animal feedstuffs to ensure that they meet common quality and safety standards.
Answer
Regulations for the implementation in GB of measures aimed at ensuring more even enforcement of EC legislation have now been laid at Westminster. These Regulations are part of a package of controls which have already been introduced on a GB basis and which, taken together, will ensure that feed produced throughout the Community and imported from third countries meets common quality and safety standards.
