Isolation Facilities are supposed to be to assist the industry not to provide a cash cow for Animal Health [Policy Work/Consultation responses] - [17 May 2010] Proposals for Reducing the Administrative Burden in applying regulation 5 of the Meat Products Regulations 2003The CLA feels that business will be best served by making the current regulation more easily comprehensible, but does wonder why this was not done when the regulation was issued. [Policy Work/Consultation responses] - [3 March 2010] Proposed Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (England) Regulations 2009The CLA considered the document and welcomes much of it as part of the long slow return to normality.
