Explanatory Note.

(This Note is not part of the regulations but is intended to

indicate their general purport).

The purpose of these regulations is to control the import into the Colony of certain kinds of meat and poultry. The regulations are based upon the system in force under the United Kingdom Public Health (Imported Food) Regulations, 1937 (Statutory Rules and Orders, 1937, No. 329). The method of control will be that no meat of a kind specified in the Schedule may be imported into the Colony without the written permission of the Director of Medical and Health Services and that no other kiñds of meat or poultry, other than smoked or cured. may be imported into the Colony without such permission unless it is aCCOM- panied by an official certificate. The official certificate is a cortificate issued by a health authority in the country from which the meat or poultry was exported. No official certificate will be acceptable for the purpose of these regulations unless issued by an authority in a country in respect of which the Governor is satisfied that the health controls are adequate to ensure the proper camination of the meat or poultry before it is exported. Whilst all imported meat and poultry will be liable, like any other food, to examination by the Colony's health authorities at their discretion, in practice any meat or poultry which is accompanied by an official certificate will bot normally be examined at the time of import.
