2. The requirement that BSE must have been present or suspected to have been present on any premises within the previous 56 days before a veterinary inquiry can be carried out under Article 5(1) has now been removed.
3. The powers under Article 7(1) to restrict the movement of certain bovine animals are extended to apply where there is risk of the animal being exposed to BSE through a feedingstuff.
