W E L S H S TAT U T O RY I N S T R U M E N T S 2013 No. 821 (W. 97) ANIMALS, WALES ANIMAL HEALTH The Cattle Identification (Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2013 EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the Regulations) These Regulations amend the Cattle Identification (Wales) Regulations 2007 (S.I. 2007/842) (W.74). Regulations 3 and 4 update references to EU legislation. Regulation 5 clarifies the role of the competent authority in relation to unidentified animals. Regulation 6 makes provision to add a new automated telephony system to the list of methods by which keepers may register animals with the Welsh Ministers. Regulation 7 makes provision to remove the need for the occupiers of slaughterhouses to enter certain details into the passports of animals they have slaughtered. Regulation 8 makes provision to allow keepers to report animal movements by using the new automated telephony system as a method of notification and also to report animal deaths using electronic methods as well as paper, except in the case of animals slaughtered outside a slaughterhouse that are sent to a slaughterhouse for dressing. An animal's passport must be returned to the Welsh Ministers within seven days of the death unless it has been retained by an inspector. The Welsh Ministers' Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations.

Mae rheoliadau 3 a 4 yn diweddaru'r cyfeiriadau at ddeddfwriaeth yr UE. Mae rheoliad 5 yn egluro swyddogaeth yr awdurdod cymwys mewn perthynas ag anifeiliaid sydd heb eu hadnabod. Mae rheoliad 6 yn gwneud darpariaeth i ychwanegu system ffôn awtomataidd newydd at y rhestr o ddulliau y caiff ceidwaid eu defnyddio i gofrestru anifeiliaid gyda Gweinidogion Cymru. Mae rheoliad 7 yn gwneud darpariaeth i gael gwared ar yr angen i feddianwyr lladd-dai nodi manylion penodol ym mhasbortau'r anifeiliaid y maent wedi eu cigydda. Mae rheoliad 8 yn gwneud darpariaeth i ganiatáu i geidwaid adrodd ar symudiadau anifeiliaid drwy ddefnyddio'r system ffôn awtomataidd newydd fel dull o hysbysu a hefyd i adrodd am farwolaethau anifeiliaid drwy ddefnyddio dulliau electronig yn ogystal ag ar bapur, ac eithrio yn achos anifeiliaid a gigyddir y tu allan i ladd-dy ac a anfonir i ladd-dy er mwyn eu trin. Rhaid dychwelyd pasbort anifail i Weinidogion Cymru o fewn saith niwrnod i'r farwolaeth onid yw arolygydd wedi ei gadw. Ystyriwyd Cod Ymarfer Gweinidogion Cymru ar wneud Asesiadau Effaith Rheoleiddiol mewn perthynas â'r Rheoliadau hyn. O ganlyniad, ystyriwyd nad oedd yn angenrheidiol gwneud asesiad effaith rheoleiddiol o'r costau a'r buddiannau sy'n debygol o ddeillio o gydymffurfio â'r Rheoliadau hyn.
