Abstract

This Order, which extends to Scotland only, requires that sheep and goats moving from holdings must have a movement eartag applied bearing an "S" and the number of the flockmark or herdmark (art. 3) subject to certain exemptions and in addition to the requirements of the Sheep and Goats Identification (Scotland) Regulations 2000, as amended. It makes provision for the maximum number of eartags (art. 4). It also makes provision for missing movement eartags (art. 5) where the animal is otherwise marked in accordance with the relevant provisions of those Regulations of 2002. The provisions relevant for this purpose are regulations 7, 7A, 8, 11 and 15. The Order shall be enforced by the local authority, unless the Scottish Ministers so direct, and the Scottish Ministers may direct joint enforcement (art. 6).
