Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order, which extends to Scotland only, requires that sheep and goats moving from holdings must have a movement eartag applied bearing an “S” and the number of the flockmark or herdmark (article 3(1)) subject to certain exemptions (article 3(2)) and in addition to the requirements of the Sheep and Goats Identification (Scotland) Regulations 2000 (as amended, with effect from 18th February 2002).
It makes provision for the maximum number of eartags (article 4).

The provisions relevant for this purpose are regulations 7, 7A, 8, 11 and 15.
The Order shall be enforced by the local authority, unless the Scottish Ministers so direct, and the Scottish Ministers may direct joint enforcement (article 6).
A breach of the terms of the Order constitutes an offence under the Animal Health Act 1981.
