Protection and surveillance zones
28.—(1) The Scottish Ministers must, unless paragraph applies, declare a protection zone and a surveillance zone where premises are declared to be infected premises.
(2) The Scottish Ministers may declare zones where the infected premises are–
(a)a slaughterhouse;
(b)a veterinary surgery where a pig is present for examination;
(c)a place where a pig is kept temporarily that the Scottish Ministers consider is not a centre of infection.
(3) A protection zone must have a radius of at least 3 kilometres, and a surveillance zone must have a radius of at least 10 kilometres, both centred on the part of the infected premises that the Scottish Ministers consider appropriate for disease control purposes.
(4) The Scottish Ministers must ensure that–
(a)premises within a zone where a pig is kept are identified as soon as possible;
(b)a veterinary inspector visits all such premises within a protection zone as soon as possible, and–
(i)inspects, and if necessary, examines all pigs at the premises; and
(ii)collects such samples as the veterinary inspector considers necessary.
(5) Schedule 2 shall apply in a protection zone.
(6) Schedule 3 shall apply in a surveillance zone.
(7) If the Scottish Ministers revoke a protection zone, without revoking the corresponding surveillance zone, then the area formerly in the protection zone is included in the surveillance zone.
