Abstract

The Directives implemented by these Regulations require the operation of a monitoring and testing programme in order to achieve and maintain official enzootic bovine leukosis-free status. The principal changes made by these Regulations relate to the arrangements for testing milk for evidence of enzootic bovine leukosis and the removal of the list of approved laboratories. Notice must be given to the Divisional Veterinary Manager if any animal, carcase or laboratory sample is found to be infected with enzootic bovine leukosis (regs. 3, 4 and 5). Regulation 6 sets out the duties of purchasers of milk for resale to ensure that milk is sent for testing to one of the approved laboratories. Regulations 7 to 11 provide veterinary inspectors with powers to inquire as to the existence of enzootic bovine leukosis, to control the movement of and to mark affected animals, as well as requiring cleansing and disinfection. Regulations 13 and 14 give the Scottish Ministers power to order the slaughter of affected animals. Regulation 15 gives powers to inspectors.
