	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/07/2019 answer text <p>A new EU Animal Health Regulation containing rules relevant to bovine TB control is due to come into force from 2021. Government officials have participated in expert group discussions on the so called delegated acts which will lay down the detailed rules. The UK devolved administrations have been fully involved in briefing for those meetings, including on the provisions for movement testing. Written representations have also been submitted to the European Commission. Ultimately, since these texts are delegated acts, final decisions on the detailed rules will be a matter for the European Commission, which has also conducted public consultation via its Have Your Say web service.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 11/07/2019 13:21:47 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/07/2019 answer text <p>The Government’s priority is to protect people and the environment. Pesticides are only authorised if scientific evidence shows that they will not harm human health and do not have unacceptable effects on the environment. All pesticides are subject to regular review to ensure that they meet the latest standards of safety for people and to the environment.
