This Order applies only to England. It amends the Sheep and Goats Identification and Movement (Interim Measures) (England) Order 2002 (S.I. 2002/240) (the principal Order), which for a temporary period until 30th November 2002 imposes requirements relating to the identification, registration and movement of sheep and goats.
Article 3 of this Order concerns the definitions of “assembly centre”, “collecting centre” and “temporary grazing land”.
Articles 4 and 5 of the principal Order are amended, primarily by requiring an X Mark to be cross referenced in the records kept of sheep or goats.
Article 6 of the principal Order is amended to allow a number applied to a sheep or goat before 11 February 2002 to qualify as “an individual identification number” despite not being applied to the same eartag as a Mark.
Article 9 of the principal Order is amended to allow sheep to return from temporary grazing land when marked with a temporary mark and to impose marking requirements for sheep and goats being moved to an assembly centre or being exported.
Article 12 of the principal Order is amended to require consequential additional entries on the movement document and to exempt animals which are being exported from the need to be accompanied by a movement document.
A regulatory impact assessment has not been made for this Order.
