Department of Environment Food & Rural Affairs (Defra), Welsh Government and the Food Standards Agency (FSA) are seeking views on the proposal which would amend domestic Transmissible Spongiform Ecephalopaties (TSEs) legislation in England and Wales.

The proposal would amend domestic TSE legislation in England and Wales to:

  • Implement a number of amendments to the EU TSE Regulation in domestic TSE legislation; and
  • Implement amendments to domestic legislation which would provide better value for money for the taxpayer and remove gold plating.

The closing date for submissions is 29 December 2017.
