Details
The VMD enforce the Veterinary Medicines Regulations (VMR) but the Secretary of State owns the powers provided by the VMR .
The purpose of enforcement strategy is to secure compliance with the requirements of the VMR.
In keeping with Defra鈥檚 approach to better regulation and enforcement we recognise that the best way to achieve compliance is to ensure, by guidance and advice, that those carrying out regulated activities understand their responsibilities.
