13.—(1) Inspectors have a right to enter any premises for the purpose of ensuring that the EU TSE Regulation or these Regulations are being complied with.
(2) They must, if so required, produce some duly authenticated document showing their authority before exercising their right under paragraph (1).
(3) They may exercise the right under paragraph (1) at all reasonable hours.
(4) They may take with them—
(a)such other persons as they consider necessary; and
(b)any representative of the European Commission acting for the purpose of the enforcement of an EU obligation.
(5) If inspectors enter any unoccupied premises or (where the premises are occupied) the occupier of the premises is temporarily absent they must leave those premises (so far as reasonably practicable) as effectively secured against unauthorised entry as the inspectors found them.
(6) If a justice of the peace, on sworn information in writing, is satisfied that there are reasonable grounds for entry into any premises for the purposes of the enforcement of these Regulations, and—
(a)admission has been refused, or a refusal is expected, and (in either case) notice to apply for a warrant has been given to the occupier;
(b)asking for admission, or the giving of such a notice, would defeat the object of the entry;
(c)the case is one of urgency; or
(d)the premises are unoccupied or the occupier is temporarily absent,
the justice may by a signed warrant authorise inspectors to enter the premises, if need be by reasonable force.
(7) A warrant under this regulation is valid for one month.
