If an animal is the subject of notification under paragraph 1 or is otherwise suspected of being infected by a TSE for the purpose of Article 12, a veterinary inspector must serve a notice prohibiting the movement of that animal from its holding.

Movements of restricted animals are only permitted in accordance with regulation 18.

If, following the receipt of test results, the veterinary inspector determines that no animal on the holding is suspected of being infected with a TSE, the inspector must remove all restrictions on that holding.
