These Regulations revoke and re-make with amendments the Import and Export Restrictions (Foot-and-Mouth Disease) (Scotland) (No. 4) Regulations 2007.
They implement Commission Decision 2007/554/EC concerning certain protection measures against foot-and-mouth disease in the United Kingdom dated 9th August 2007, as amended by Commission Decision 2007/588/EC dated 24th August 2007, Commission Decision 2007/608/EC dated 13th September 2007, and Commission Decisions 2007/663/EC and 2007/664/EC dated 12th October 2007.
The principal amendments give effect to the changes made by Commission Decisions 2007/663/EC. They allow the export of certain ovine and caprine semen and embryos (regulation 12), and permit the export without an official certificate of the animal products specified in regulation 14(3) (a) and (g).
They regulate–
the importation to, dispatch from, transit through, and export from Scotland of live animals (regulations 4 and 5),
the export of meat from bovine, ovine, caprine, porcine and other biungulate animals (regulation 6),

the export of hides and skins (regulation 13), and
the export of certain animal products (regulation 14(1)(a).
The prohibitions on dispatch under these Regulations do not apply to certain animals or products as specified in the applicable regulations.
Further, the prohibition does not apply to products produced outside the United Kingdom that remain in their original packaging, or produced in the United Kingdom from pre-processed products originating elsewhere (regulation 15).
They create offences relating to personal export and of offering to export anything which it is prohibited to export under the Regulations (regulations 17 and 18).
They provide for the cleansing and disinfection of vehicles used to transport live animals susceptible to foot-and-mouth disease (regulation 19)
They provide powers in respect of enforcement (regulation 20) and create offences of obstruction and providing false information (regulations 22 and 23).
They provide for sharing of information relating to these Regulations (regulation 27).
The Regulations are enforced by the Scottish Ministers or the local authority (regulation 28).

on summary conviction, to a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum or to imprisonment not exceeding three months or to both;
