This Order permits people who are not veterinary surgeons to carry out artificial insemination of cows and mares, subject to the conditions set out in the Order. It revokes the Veterinary Surgery (Artificial Insemination) Order 2007 (S.I. 2007/1315) and remakes the provisions of that Order with amendments to comply with the Provision of Services Regulations 2009 (S.I. 2009/2999) by which the United Kingdom transposed Directive 2006/123/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ No L 376, 27.12.2006) on services in the internal market.

Article 3 of this Order, which applies in England, Scotland and Wales only, specifies the conditions with which a person who is not a registered veterinary surgeon must comply in order to carry out artificial insemination of cows.

Article 4, which applies in the whole of the United Kingdom, specifies the conditions with which a person who is not a registered veterinary surgeon must comply in order to carry out artificial insemination of mares.

In accordance with Directive 2006/123/EC and the Provision of Services Regulations 2009, the definitions of “approved course” include training courses in other EEA States, successful completion of which entitles a person to perform artificial insemination of cows and mares in those States.

No impact assessment has been carried out for this instrument as it has no significant impact on the costs of business, charities, voluntary bodies or the public sector.
