Abstract

This Order, as well as providing for the slaughter of cattle affected or suspected of being affected with bovine spongiform encephalopathy ("BSE") and cattle which are in contact with cattle affected with BSE of which appear to be otherwise exposed to the infection of BSE, now provides for the slaughter of cattle born on or after 1st August 1996 which are offspring of cattle affected or suspected of being affected with BSE. The Order also further modifies Part II of Schedule 2 to the principal Order by revoking and replacing the existing compensation arrangements for cattle slaughtered as a result of being affected with BSE or suspected of being so affected and cattle which are in contact with cattle affected with the disease or which appear to be otherwise exposed to the infection of that disease. The Order sets out in consolidated form with minor and drafting amendments the previous compensation arrangements and makes additional provision in respect of offspring animals so that the principal Order now prescribes the amount of compensation payable for cattle slaughtered as a result of being offspring of cattle affected with or suspected of being affected with BSE.
