Abstract

This Order makes provision for the identification and registration of ovine and caprine animals by keepers of such animals and related matters. It implements for Wales Council Regulation (EC) No. 21/2004. Domestic identification requirements are changed to reflect the fact that the UK will no longer take advantage of a derogation from the main double tagging regime under Council Regulation 21/2004. The Order also prohibits the tampering with or otherwise illegal handling of identification tags and makes provision for a movement document to accompany every animal when it moves between holdings. The Order also specifies identification requirements of animals brought into Wales from other member States of the European Union or other countries in the United Kingdom.
