(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order further amends the Foot-and-Mouth Disease Declaratory (Controlled Area) (Scotland) (No. 3) Order 2001 (“the Controlled Area Order”).

It amends the ban on hunting and stalking deer by changing the permitted areas where in certain circumstances exceptions are allowed to the ban on hunting or stalking certain types of deer. Permitted areas now will comprise all of Scotland except the those parts of Scotland where an order made by the Scottish Ministers under Article 17(1) of the Foot-and-Mouth Disease Order 1983 is in force.

The Order also removes the prescribed form of the licence issued by an inspector for movement to slaughter under the Controlled Area Order, and under the Foot-and-Mouth Disease (Scotland) Declaratory (No. 5) Order 2001 and the Foot-and-Mouth Disease (Scotland) Declaratory (No. 6) Order 2001. It provides that such a licence shall be issued in a form to be prescribed by the Scottish Ministers in accordance with the advice of the Chief Veterinary Officer.
