7.—(1) Where the health situation so requires, and where there is no suitable veterinary medicinal product available either as an authorised product or under the cascade, a veterinary surgeon may treat an animal with a veterinary medicinal product authorised in a third country; but if the veterinary surgeon has not obtained a certificate from the Secretary of State under regulation 25(5) permitting him to import it, he must obtain a certificate from the Secretary of State before he treats the animal.
(2) The certificate may be granted subject to any condition the Secretary of State thinks fit.
