These Regulations provide for identification of horses and other equidae by means of an identification document and an electronic microchip inserted into the animal. The electronic microchip will contain a unique life number which is recorded on both the identification document and on a National Equine Database. Part 2 of the Regulations create offences for breach of provisions of the Commission Regulation, and provide for the administration of veterinary medicinal products for horses intended for human consumption. This Part also makes special provisions for specified populations of horses living on certain commons. Part 3 provides that the Regulations are enforced by the local authority, except in certain specified circumstances, and confers powers of enforcement upon inspectors. Breach of the Regulations is an offence punishable— (a) on summary conviction, to a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum, or (b) on conviction on indictment, to a fine. A regulatory impact assessment has been prepared and copies are available from the Department for Rural Affairs, Welsh Assembly Government, Cathays Park, Cardiff, CF10 3NQ.

Yn Rhan 2 o'r Rheoliadau crëir tramgwyddau o dorri darpariaethau Rheoliad y Comisiwn, a darperir ar gyfer rhoi cynhyrchion meddyginiaethol milfeddygol i geffylau a fwriedir ar gyfer eu bwyta gan bobl. Yn y Rhan hon hefyd, gwneir darpariaethau arbennig ar gyfer poblogaethau penodedig o geffylau sy'n byw ar diroedd comin penodol. Mae Rhan 3 yn darparu bod y Rheoliadau i'w gorfodi gan yr awdurdod lleol ac eithrio mewn rhai amgylchiadau penodedig, ac yn rhoi pwerau gorfodi i arolygwyr.
