89.—(1) This regulation applies where an inspector is satisfied that for any purpose connected with the administration or enforcement of Article 15(2) of, and Chapter B of Annex VIII to, the Community TSE Regulation it is necessary to prohibit or restrict the movement from or to any premises of—

(a)any female bovine animal infected with a TSE or a BSE-confirmed ovine or caprine animal;

(b)any animal of first generation progeny of, or semen, embryos or ova derived from, a female bovine animal infected with a TSE or a BSE-confirmed ovine or caprine animal;

(d)any carcase of an animal of first generation progeny of a female bovine animal infected with a TSE or carcase of a BSE-confirmed ovine or caprine animal.

(2) For any such purpose an inspector may, by notice in writing served on the owner or person in charge of any animal, prohibit or restrict the movement of the animal or carcase, or semen, embryos or ova, from or to any premises described in the notice for such period, and subject to such requirements or conditions, as he considers necessary for that purpose and specifies in the notice.

(3) During the period in which the notice is in force a veterinary inspector may renew it subject to such requirements or conditions as he considers necessary for the same or a shorter period.

(4) A notice which is renewed may be renewed from time to time in a similar manner by a veterinary inspector.

(5) Where a notice is in force under this regulation the requirements or conditions of which allow movement of any animal or carcase, or semen, embryos or ova, from premises on the authority of a licence issued by a veterinary inspector, a veterinary inspector may issue a licence for this purpose subject to such requirements or conditions as he considers necessary.

(6) Where an animal or carcase, or semen, embryos or ova, is being or are being moved under the authority of a licence issued under this Part of these Regulations the person in charge of the animal or carcase or semen, embryos or ova being so moved shall carry the licence during the authorised movement and shall, on demand made by an inspector or by a member of a police force, produce the licence and allow a copy or extract to be taken, and shall also, on such demand, furnish his name and address.
