(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order (article 2) revokes article 2(8) of the Brucellosis (Scotland) Amendment Order 2014 (“the 2014 Order”), which amended article 7 of the Brucellosis (Scotland) Order 2009 (“the 2009 Order”).
Article 3 of this Order amends article 7 of the 2009 Order, to make it an offence where owners or keepers of bovine animals who sell processed milk or milk products fail to take quarterly milk samples and submit those for testing for evidence of the existence of brucellosis.
This Order corrects the error in article 2(8) of the 2014 Order by providing that the term of imprisonment on summary conviction for the offence may not exceed 3 months.
No business regulatory impact assessment has been prepared for this Order as no further impact on business, charities or voluntary bodies is foreseen.
