99 Declared disease relating to residue other than contaminant
This section applies if—
under the amended Act, section 94 or 97, a declaration or regulation—
prescribes a concentration level for a chemical residue (other than a contaminant) or an antibiotic residue; and
declares that a residue over the prescribed concentration level for the residue is a declared disease under that Act; and
immediately before the commencement, the declaration or regulation is still in force.
From the commencement, the declaration or regulation is taken to be a regulation made under the Chemical Usage (Agricultural and Veterinary) Control Act 1988, section 38(2)(b) prescribing the maximum residue limit for the chemical residue or antibiotic residue in—
the tissue of a trade species animal within the meaning of that Act; or
a product derived from a trade species animal.
