(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order implements Commission Regulation EC (No) 616/2009 which makes provision for the recognition of poultry compartments which meet high standards of biosecurity (OJ No L 181, 14.7.2009, p 16). Since application for recognition is voluntary the only sanction for failure to comply with the requirements of this Order is removal of certification as a compartment.

A full impact assessment has not been prepared for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
