Abstract

This Order amends the Tuberculosis (Scotland) Order 2007 so as to provide further to protect the officially tuberculosis free (“OTF”) status in terms of Directive 64/432/EEC. The Order provides for the testing of animals before they move from areas in England or Wales where there is a low incidence of tuberculosis, unless such animals were born and kept at all times on premises in a low incidence area. It also inserts a new provision in the principal Order disapplying pre and post movement testing in relation to movements of animals from one part of a cross-border holding to another.
