Abstract

The Order implements the provisions relating to milk of Council Directive 64/432/EC on health problems affecting intra-Community trade in bovine animals and Council Directive 77/391/EC, as amended, introducing Community measures for the eradication of brucellosis, tuberculosis and leukosis. Implementing EC requirements, notice must be given to the Divisional Veterinary Manager if any animal, carcass or laboratory sample is found to be infected with enzootic bovine leukosis (arts. 2, 3 and 4). The principal changes made by this Order relate to the arrangements for testing milk for evidence of enzootic bovine leukosis. Article 5 sets out the duties of purchasers of milk in any form for resale to ensure that milk is sent for testing to one of the approved laboratories. The person in charge of an approved laboratory must notify the Minister of any positive test results within 24 hours and negative test results within one month. He must also maintain records of all the tests carried out for a period of one year from the date of the test (art. 5).
