When the UK left the EU, legislation.gov.uk published EU legislation that had been published by the EU up to IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.). On legislation.gov.uk, these items of legislation are kept up-to-date with any amendments made by the UK since then.
Legislation.gov.uk publishes the UK version. EUR-Lex publishes the EU version. The EU Exit Web Archive holds a snapshot of EUR-Lex’s version from IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.).
This is the original version (as it was originally adopted).
A high-risk farm or mollusc farming area is a farm or mollusc farming area which:
has a high risk of spreading diseases to or contracting diseases from other farms or wild stocks;
operates under farming conditions which could increase the risk of disease outbreaks (high biomass, low water quality), taking into account the species present;
sells live aquatic animals for further farming or restocking.
A medium-risk farm or mollusc farming area is a farm or mollusc farming area which:
has medium risk of spreading diseases to or contracting diseases from other farms or wild stocks;
operates under farming conditions which would not necessarily increase the risk of disease outbreaks (medium biomass and water quality), taking into account the species present;
sells live aquatic animals mainly for human consumption.
A low-risk farm of mollusc farming area is a farm or mollusc farming area which:
has a low risk of spreading diseases to or contracting diseases from other farms or wild stocks;
operates under farming conditions which would not increase the risk of disease outbreaks (low biomass, good water quality), taking into account the species present;
sells live aquatic animals for human consumption only.
