Abstract

These Regulations amend the Cattle Identification (Wales) Regulations 2007: in regulations 2 and 4to update references to EU legislation; in regulation 12 (slaughter of unmarked animals) to clarify the role of the competent authority in relation to unidentified animals; in Schedule 2 to add a new automated telephony system to the list of methods by which keepers may register animals with the Welsh Ministers; in Schedule 3 to remove the need for the occupiers of slaughterhouses to enter certain details into the passports of animals they have slaughtered; and in Schedule 4 to allow keepers to report animal movements by using the new automated telephony system as a method of notification and also to report animal deaths using electronic methods as well as paper. An animal's passport must be returned to the Welsh Ministers within seven days of the death unless it has been retained by an inspector.
