(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Foot-and-Mouth Disease Declaratory (Controlled Area) (Scotland) (No. 3) Order 2001.
It amends article 4(4) to permit the Scottish Ministers to allow movement for slaughter by way of a general licence, if considered appropriate (article 2(2)).
It also extends the categories of animals within a controlled area that can be moved to slaughter under licence, by amending the form of licence in Schedule 1 (article 2(3)).
The animals that can now be moved include all cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, wild boar and deer.
This Order also amends the Foot-and-Mouth Disease Declaratory (Scotland) Order 2001.
It amends that Order so as to enable licences to be issued under that Order by the Scottish Ministers as well as by an inspector (article 3).
It also amends that Order so as to remove the requirement for movements of bovine semen into, out of or within an infected area to be authorised by a special movement licence granted under regulation 7(1)(e) of the Artificial Insemination of Cattle (Scotland) Regulations 1980 (S.I. 1980/453) (revoked and replaced in 1985 by the Artificial Insemination of Cattle (Animal Health) (Scotland) Regulations 1985 (S.I. 1985/1857). Instead such movements may now be authorised by a written approval issued by a veterinary inspector under article 26 of the Foot-and-Mouth Disease Order 1983.
