In Article 2 of the principal Order, a definition of vertebral column is added at the end of paragraph (1) and a new paragraph (5) is added. Article 3 of the principal Order is amended to exclude from the scope of the definition material derived from sheep and goats born, continuously reared and slaughtered in certain third countries. Article 4 of the principal Order is substantially revised so that, in particular, material derived from bovine animals born, continuously reared and slaughtered in certain third countries is now outside the scope of the definition. Article 6 of the principal Order is amended to impose new requirements for the import of carcases of bovine animals containing vertebral column which are specified risk material; and a new form of importation certificate is substituted in Schedule 2.
