Under the principal Regulations, slaughterhouse operators are required to submit samples from cattle to an approved laboratory for TSE testing. These Regulations expand the definition of an "approved laboratory" in the principal Regulations. The amendment will enable slaughterhouse operators (if they so choose) to send brain stem samples from cattle to a European Union National Reference Laboratory for TSE testing or to laboratories approved by the competent authority in another Member State of the European Union. A regulatory impact assessment has not been prepared as the effect of this instrument on the costs of business is negligible.

O dan y prif Reoliadau, mae'n ofynnol i weithredwyr lladd-dai gyflwyno samplau gwartheg i labordy a gymeradwywyd i'w profi ar gyfer TSE. Mae'r Rheoliadau hyn yn helaethu'r diffiniad o "labordy a gymeradwywyd" yn y prif Reoliadau. Bydd y diwygiad yn galluogi gweithredwyr lladd-dai (petaent yn dewis gwneud hynny) i anfon samplau o goesyn ymennydd gwartheg i un o Labordai Cyfeirio Cenedlaethol yr Undeb Ewropeaidd i'w brofi ar gyfer TSE neu i labordai a gymeradwywyd gan yr awdurdod cymwys mewn Aelod-wladwriaeth arall yn yr Undeb Ewropeaidd. Ni pharatowyd asesiad effaith rheoleiddiol gan mai ychydig iawn o effaith a gaiff yr offeryn hwn ar gostau busnes.
