2 The average market price
(1) Subject to paragraph 4, the compensation payable to the keeper of the animal is the average market price for the category into which the animal falls at the relevant date.
(2) The average market price for each category is as follows—
(a) in the case of non-pedigree animals it is calculated each month from sale price data of animals in that category in respect of sales occurring during the period ending on the 20th day of the preceding month and starting on the 21st day of the month before that; and
(b) in the case of pedigree animals it is calculated each month from sale price data of animals in that category in respect of sales occurring over a six-month rolling period covering the six months ending on the 20th day of the preceding month and starting on the 21st day of the month falling six months before that.
(3) The average market price for a category for which sale price data have been collected is the amount obtained by dividing the sum of those sale prices by the total number of animals in that category.

3 No data or inadequate data
(1) Sub-paragraph (2) applies where there are either no available sale price data or the Secretary of State considers there to be inadequate sale price data for calculating the average market price for a relevant category of animal.
(2) Where this paragraph applies—
(a) the average market price is the most recently ascertained average market price for the relevant category of animal, where one has previously been calculated; or
(b) the Secretary of State may opt to pay compensation at the level of the market value of the animal in question, as ascertained under the Individual Ascertainment of Value (England) Order 2012.

4 Compensation payable following delays in testing for tuberculosis
(1) Where—
(a) the keeper of an animal has been served with a notice under article 8(1) of the Tuberculosis (England) Order 2007;
S.I. 2007/740, amended by S.I. 2009/2713.
(b) the keeper has failed to carry out a test by the latest date specified in the notice;
(c) a test has subsequently been carried out after the latest date specified in the notice; and
(d) the animal has been slaughtered following that test,
compensation payable for that animal is to be calculated using the formula set out in paragraph (2).
(2) The formula referred to in paragraph (1) is—
A×B
where—
A is the average market price for the category into which the animal falls at the relevant date (or the market value as determined in the circumstances identified in article 4(1)(b) or (c)); and
B is the figure specified in sub-paragraph (3).
(3) Where the test was carried out after the latest date specified in the notice and the interval between the date so specified and the test is—
(a) not more than 60 days, “B” is 1;
(b) more than 60 but not more than 90 days, “B” is 0.75;
(c) more than 90 but not more than 180 days, “B” is 0.5; and
(d) more than 180 days, “B” is 0.05.
(4) The Secretary of State must notify the keeper in writing of any decision to reduce compensation following delays of more than 60 days in testing for tuberculosis—
(a) giving the reasons for the decision;
(b) explaining that the keeper has the right to make written representations to a person appointed by the Secretary of State in accordance with paragraph 5; and
(c) explaining that notwithstanding any written representations being made the Secretary of State may continue to take action under section 32(1) of the Act to have the animal removed for slaughter.

5 Review of decision to reduce compensation
(1) Within 21 days after receipt of the notification under paragraph 4(4) a keeper may make written representations to a person appointed by the Secretary of State for the purpose of having the decision to reduce the compensation payable to the keeper reviewed by such appointed person.
(2) The appointed person must consider those written representations together with any written representations that may be made by the Secretary of State, and must report in writing, with a recommended course of action resulting from the review, to the Secretary of State.
(3) The Secretary of State must then reach a final decision and notify the keeper of that decision and the reasons for it.
(4) The Secretary of State may continue to take action under section 32(1) of the Act to remove the animal for slaughter before reaching a final decision in accordance with sub-paragraph (3).

PART 2 Categories

6 Determination of category
(1) The Secretary of State must determine from the table in sub-paragraph (5) the category into which an animal falls at the relevant date and may appoint an agent for the purpose of that determination.
(2) For the purpose of the determination, the date of birth of the animal is as shown on the cattle passport and the age of the animal shall be calculated accordingly.
(3) For an animal to fall within a pedigree category—
(a) it must—
(i) be a pedigree animal which meets the requirements set out in Commission Decision 84/419/EEC for entry in the main section of a herd-book for pure-bred breeding animals of the bovine species and be entered in the main section of such a herd-book before the relevant date; and
OJNo. L 237, 5.9.84, p.11.
(ii) be entire; and
(b) the pedigree certificate in respect of that animal must be presented to the Secretary of State or an agent acting on behalf of the Secretary of State not later than 10 days after the relevant date.
