EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)


This Order amends the Foot-and-Mouth Disease (Scotland) Order 2006 ("the principal Order").

Article 2(1) of this Order re-enacts with modifications the definition of "susceptible animal" in the principal Order so that it no longer means a rodent.

Article 2(2) of this Order re-enacts with modifications paragraph 1 of Schedule 6 (measures that apply in a restricted zone) to the principal Order.

The new paragraph provides that a vehicle used to move susceptible animals shall be cleansed or disinfected in accordance with conditions to be applied to the licence authorising the movement, and any other conditions applied to the movement by a direction by an inspector. The requirements set out in paragraph 45 (cleansing and disinfection of vehicles transporting susceptible animals) the principal Order no longer apply to movements in a restricted zone.

The new paragraph further provides that the movement restriction in that paragraph will not apply in any part of a restricted zone that is also part of a surveillance zone.

A regulatory impact assessment has not been prepared for this Order.
