PART 6 Measures on confirmation of low pathogenic avian influenza

Movement of eggs from premises where low pathogenic avian influenza is confirmed

47.—(1) Where the Scottish Ministers direct that poultry on any premises on which low pathogenic avian influenza is confirmed are to be slaughtered at a slaughterhouse, a licence for the movement of eggs off the premises (prior to the poultry being sent for slaughter) may not be granted unless the Scottish Ministers are satisfied that the movement would not significantly increase the risk of the spread of low pathogenic avian influenza.

(2) The Scottish Ministers may only license the movement of such eggs–

(a) to a designated packing centre, in disposable packaging;

(b) to an establishment for the manufacture of egg products; or

(c) for disposal.
