Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Foot-and-Mouth Disease Declaratory (Controlled Area) (Scotland) (No. 3) Order 2001. The Order prevents the owner or person in charge of an animal in a Controlled Area from moving an animal on unenclosed land without notice from a veterinary inspector.
The Order amends the licence for movement to slaughter in connection with the maximum number of days within which movement must be completed.
The Order also amends the Foot-and-Mouth Disease (Scotland) Declaratory (No. 3) Order 2001 and the Foot-and-Mouth Disease (Scotland) Declaratory (No. 4) Order 2001. It amends these Orders so as to allow the licensing of movement from an infected area to slaughter, under a licence in the form prescribed, and makes further provision in that regard.
The Order also makes provision in relation to stray or feral animals.
