Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations.)
These Regulations enforce the second indent of Article 7.1 of Council Regulation (EC) No. 820/97 relating to notifying birth, movement and death of cattle to a central database. It is an offence to fail to notify in accordance with that provision and in accordance with these Regulations.
The Regulations specify how notification must be made, and provide that all parties concerned shall have access to information held on the database. Certain charges are imposed to recover the cost of running the computerised database.
The Regulations contain provisions concerning powers of entry and other powers of inspectors.
Breach of regulation 13(1)(a) or (b) (obstruction) is punishable by a fine of level 5 on the standard scale or up to three months imprisonment for obstruction. For other offences the penalty is—
on summary conviction, a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum, or imprisonment for a term not exceeding three months, or both;
on conviction on indictment, a fine or imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or to both.
