Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

Regulation 3 of these Regulations empowers the Scottish Ministers to issue emergency licences during outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease (as defined in regulation 2).

These Regulations further provide that these emergency licences may authorise the licensee to do things that would normally be prohibited by the Artificial Insemination of Cattle (Animal Health) (Scotland) Regulations 1985 (“the 1985 Regulations”), which controls a range of activities related to the artificial insemination of cattle.

Failure to comply with the conditions of an emergency licence, or to make any statement or furnish any information for the purposes of obtaining a licence under these Regulations which is known to be false or is not believed to be true, is an offence under section 10(6) of the Animal Health and Welfare Act 1984, for which the maximum penalty is three months imprisonment and/or a fine at level 3 on the standard scale (currently, £1,000).
