PART 4 Savings and transitional provision and revocations Saving of the effect of provision in respect of model forms of health certificates 69 Where Part 3 of these Regulations revokes any provision of retained direct EU legislation which would, but for that revocation, have had effect after IP completion day as part of retained EU law in relation to the model forms of health certificates to be used in respect of the importation and movement of animals and animal products into or through Great Britain, that provision is saved and continues to have effect from immediately after IP completion day until the end of the day on 30th September 2021. General transitional provision relating to the presentation or other use of model forms of health certificates 70 Where Part 3 of these Regulations amends any provision of retained direct EU legislation which, on or after IP completion day, forms part of retained EU law so as to enable the presentation or other use of a model form of health certificate in “the form published by the appropriate authority from time to time”, that amendment does not preclude a model certificate in the form set out in the text of such legislation, as it had effect immediately before IP completion day, from being presented or otherwise used, on or after IP completion day, in connection with the importation and movement of animals or animal products into or through Great Britain instead of the equivalent model certificate, in the form published by the appropriate authority from time to time, from immediately after IP completion day until the end of the day on 30th September 2021. Power to amend transitional dates 71 1 The Secretary of State may by regulations amend a date (“a transitional date”), on which certain provisions cease to have effect, or until which certain provisions continue to have effect or until which certain model certificates may continue to be presented or used, specified in— a regulation 26(3) of the Trade in Animals and Related Products Regulations 2011 ; b regulation 69; c regulation 70. 2 The Secretary of State may not exercise the power in paragraph (1)— a to amend a transitional date to a date before 1st July 2021; b without the consent of the appropriate authority. 3 If the appropriate authority asks the Secretary of State to make regulations under paragraph (1), the Secretary of State must have regard to that request. 4 Regulations made under paragraph (1) are to be made by statutory instrument. 5 A statutory instrument containing regulations under paragraph (1) is subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. 6 Such regulations may— a contain consequential, incidental, supplementary, transitional or saving provision; b make different provision for different purposes. Interpretation 72 1 In this Part, “ appropriate authority ” means— a in relation to England, the Secretary of State; b in relation to Wales, the Welsh Ministers; c in relation to Scotland, the Scottish Ministers. 2 But the appropriate authority is the Secretary of State if consent is given by— a in relation to Wales, the Welsh Ministers; b in relation to Scotland, the Scottish Ministers. Revocations 73 1 The Import of and Trade in Animals and Animal Products (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 are revoked. 2 The retained direct EU legislation listed in the Schedule is revoked.
