NATIONAL ASSEMBLY FOR WALES S TAT U T O RY I N S T R U M E N T S 2006 No. 2928 (W.263) AGRICULTURE, WALES The Feeding Stuffs (Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2006 EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the Order) 1. These Regulations amend the Feeding Stuffs (Wales) Regulations 2006 (SI 2006/116 (W.14)) ("the 2006 Regulations") by inserting into them a provision requiring the percentage of each feed material contained in a compound feed to be declared, within a tolerance of ±15%, on the label of the compound feed or on an accompanying document, (regulation 2(2)). This provision was formerly contained in the Feeding Stuffs (Wales) Regulations 2001 (SI 2001/343 (W.15)) as amended by SI 2003/1850 (W.200) ("the 2001 Regulations") (regulation 3). 2. These Regulations also revoke a provision in the 2001 Regulations requiring the exact percentage of each feed material in a compound feed to be disclosed to customers on request (regulation 4). 3. The provisions of the 2001 Regulations referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 above implemented, in relation to Wales, Article 1.4 and Article 1.1(b) respectively of Directive 2002/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Council Directive 79/373/EEC on the circulation of compound feedingstuffs (OJ No. L63, 6.3.2002, p.23). 4. Following implementation, the provisions were suspended by order of the High Court pending the outcome of a referral to the European Court of Justice (ECJ). During the period of suspension, all of the 2001 Regulations other than the suspended provisions were revoked and replaced by the 2006 Regulations.

Mae'r Rheoliadau hyn yn diwygio Rheoliadau Bwydydd Anifeiliaid (Cymru) 2006 (OS 2006/116 (Cy.14)) ("Rheoliadau 2006") drwy fewnosod ynddynt ddarpariaeth sy'n ei gwneud yn ofynnol bod y ganran o bob deunydd bwyd anifeiliaid a gaiff ei gynnwys mewn bwyd anifeiliaid cyfansawdd i'w ddatgan, gyda goddefiant heb fod yn fwy na ±15%, ar label y bwyd anifeiliaid cyfansawdd neu ar ddogfen sy'n mynd gyda'r bwyd anifeiliaid, (rheoliad 2(2)). Cynhwysid y ddarpariaeth hon yn flaenorol yn Rheoliadau Porthiant (Cymru) 2001 (OS 2001/343 (Cy.15)) fel y'i diwygiwyd gan OS 2003/1850 (Cy.200) ("Rheoliadau 2001") (rheoliad 3). 2. Mae'r Rheoliadau hyn hefyd yn dirymu darpariaeth yn Rheoliadau 2001 sy'n ei gwneud yn ofynnol bod union ganran pob deunydd bwyd anifeiliaid mewn bwyd anifeiliaid cyfansawdd i'w datgelu i gwsmeriaid sy'n gofyn hynny (rheoliad 4). 3. Rhoddwyd ar waith, o ran Cymru, gan ddarpariaethau Rheoliadau 2001, y cyfeirir atynt ym mharagraffau 1 a 2 uchod, Erthygl 1.4 ac Erthygl 1.1(b), yn y drefn honno, o Gyfarwyddeb 2002/2/EC Senedd Ewrop a'r Cyngor sy'n diwygio Cyfarwyddeb y Cyngor 79/373/EEC ar gylchrediad bwydydd anifeiliaid cyfansawdd (OJ Rhif L63, 6.3.2002, t.23). 4. Yn sgil rhoi'r Erthyglau ar waith, ataliwyd y darpariaethau dros dro drwy orchymyn yr Uchel Lys hyd oni fyddai canlyniad achos a gyfeiriwyd at Lys Cyfiawnder Ewrop (ECJ) yn hysbys. Yn ystod cyfnod atal y darpariaethau dros dro, dirymwyd y cyfan o Reoliadau 2001 ac eithrio'r darpariaethau a ataliwyd dros dro a rhoddwyd Rheoliadau 2006 yn eu lle. 1 5. Yn ei ymateb yn sgil cyfeirio'r achos ato mae'r ECJ yn awr wedi dyfarnu bod Erthygl 1.4 o Gyfarwyddeb 2002/2/EC yn ddilys yn gyfreithiol, ond nad yw Erthygl 1.1(b) yn ddilys yn gyfreithiol. 6. Cafodd asesiad rheoliadol llawn o'r effaith a fydd yr offeryn hwn yn ei chael ar gostau busnes ei baratoi a'i osod yn Llyfrgell Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru. Gellir cael copïau gan yr Asiantaeth Safonau Bwyd, Llawr 11, Southgate House, Wood Street, Caerdydd CF10 1EW. 5. In response to the referral the ECJ has now ruled that Article 1.4 of Directive 2002/2/EC is legally valid, whereas Article 1.1(b) is not. 6. A full regulatory impact assessment that this instrument will have on the costs of business has been prepared and placed in the Library of the National Assembly for Wales.
