Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order.)

This Order revokes and re-enacts with amendments the Specified Bovine Offal Order (Northern Ireland) 1995. That Order implemented various Directives as specified in that Order. It provides that bovine heads (other than tongues) shall be disposed of as specified bovine material as well as the materials specified in the earlier Order.

Any person who without lawful authority or excuse, proof of which shall lie on him, contravenes any provision of the Order shall be guilty of an offence against the Diseases of Animals (Northern Ireland) Order 1981. The penalty on summary conviction is in the case of an offence committed in relation to carcases or other inanimate things, a fine at level 5 on the standard scale (currently £5,000) together with a further fine at level 3 on the standard scale (currently £1,000) in respect of every 508 kilograms in weight of the carcases or other things after the first 508 kilograms.
