However, [F2the appropriate authority] where a breeding programme is in place may decide to allow sampling and genotyping of breeding rams only, in flocks not participating in the breeding programme.
Textual Amendments

the identification of the individual animals sampled under the breeding programme, including breeding rams sampled in flocks not participating in the breeding programme;
the results of any genotyping tests.

rarity of the breed;
avoidance of inbreeding or genetic drift.
once every 3 years with a minimum sample of at least 1 560 ovine animals; or
at a frequency and with a sample size F7... based on compliance with the following criteria:
the sampling design takes into account relevant epidemiological data collected during previous surveys, including data concerning the prion protein genotype of sheep for the codons 136, 141, 154 and 171 by breed, region, age, sex and flock type;
the sampling design allows at a minimum to detect a change of 5 % in genotype prevalence over a 3-year period, with a 80 % power and 95 % confidence level.]

all animals in the flock that are to be genotyped shall be individually identified using secure means;
all rams intended for breeding within the flock shall be genotyped before being used for breeding;
any male animal carrying the VRQ allele shall be slaughtered or castrated, within six months following the determination of its genotype; any such animal shall not leave the holding except for slaughter;
female animals that are known to carry the VRQ allele shall not leave the holding except for slaughter;
male animals, including semen donors used for artificial insemination, other than those certified under the breeding programme, shall not be used for breeding within the flock.

Textual Amendments
That recognition shall be granted on at least the following two levels:
level I flocks shall be flocks composed entirely of ovine animals of the ARR/ARR genotype;
level II flocks shall be flocks whose progeny have been sired exclusively by rams of the ARR/ARR genotype.
[F10The appropriate authority] may decide to grant recognition on further levels to suit national requirements.
Textual Amendments
on the holding or at the slaughterhouse to verify their genotype;
in the case of level I flocks, in animals over 18 months of age at the slaughterhouse, for TSE testing in accordance with Annex III.
