[F2 Article 22 U.K.

1. F3 ...

The competent authority shall carry out each year a minimum number of official checks in relation to identification and registration of animals which shall cover at least 3 % of the holdings.

The competent authority shall immediately increase the minimum rate of official checks F4 ... where it is established that provisions on identification and registration of animals have not been complied with.

The selection of holdings to be inspected by the competent authority shall be made on the basis of a risk analysis.

F5 ...

2. Notwithstanding [F6 any other measures adopted by the appropriate Ministers to ensure compliance with the provisions of this Regulation], the competent authority shall impose on a keeper the following administrative penalties:

(a) if one or more animals on a holding do not comply with any of the provisions laid down in Title I: a restriction on the movement of all animals to or from the holding of the keeper concerned;

(b) in the case of animals for which the identification and registration requirements laid down in Title I are not fully complied with: an immediate restriction on the movement of those animals only, until those requirements are fully complied with;

(c) if, on one holding, the number of animals for which the identification and registration requirements laid down in Title I are not fully complied with is in excess of 20 %: an immediate restriction on the movement of all the animals present on that holding; in respect of holdings of not more than 10 animals, this measure shall apply if more than two animals are not fully identified in accordance with the requirements laid down in Title I;

(d) if the keeper of an animal cannot prove that animal’s identification and traceability: where appropriate, on the basis of an assessment of the animal health and food safety risks, the destruction of the animal without compensation;

(e) if a keeper fails to report to the competent authority the movement of an animal to and from his holding in accordance with the second indent of Article 7(1), the competent authority shall restrict the movement of animals to and from that holding;

(f) if a keeper fails to report to the competent authority the birth or death of an animal in accordance with the second indent of Article 7(1), the competent authority shall restrict the movement of animals to and from that holding;

3. Notwithstanding [F8 any other measures adopted by the appropriate authorities to ensure compliance with the provisions of this Regulation], where operators and organisations marketing beef have labelled beef without complying with their obligations laid down in Title II, [F9 the appropriate authorities] shall, as appropriate, and in accordance with the principle of proportionality, require the removal of the beef from the market. In addition to the penalties [F10 adopted by the appropriate authorities to ensure compliance with the provisions of this Regulation], [F9 the appropriate authorities] may:

(a) if the meat concerned conforms with relevant veterinary and hygiene rules authorise that such beef:

(i)

be placed on the market after being properly labelled in accordance with [F11 Great Britain] requirements; or

(ii)

be sent directly for processing into products other than those indicated in the first indent of Article 12;

(b) order the suspension or withdrawal of the approval of the operators and organisations concerned.
