Abstract

Part 2 of the Order provides that cattle, goats, and sheep, may not be moved from premises if specified animals have been moved on to those premises in the previous 6 days. It also provides that pigs may not be moved from premises if pigs have been moved on to those premises in the previous 20 days or cattle, goats, or sheep have been moved on to those premises in the previous 6 days. It provides for exceptions from these requirements (arts. 6, 7 and 8 and Schedules 1 and 2). Schedule 1 lists the movements off premises which are permitted during the standstill period and Schedule 2 lists the movements on to premises that do not trigger the standstill period. It provides for marking sheep and goats travelling to shows or exhibitions (art. 9). It controls movement of animals to and from slaughterhouses (art. 10) and provides for sets of premises to be linked together as sole occupancy groups (art. 11). Part 3 of the Order provides that cattle, deer, pigs, goats and sheep may not be moved except in accordance with a licence (art. 12). It makes provisions for licences, permits and authorisations, and empowers the Secretary of State to serve notices removing individual premises or people from operating under a general licence (arts. 13 to 19). It provides for disinfection of vehicles (art. 20). It provides for change of occupation of premises affected by the Order (art. 21).
