(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Brucellosis and Tuberculosis Compensation (Scotland) Order 1978 (“the principal Order”). The principal Order prescribes the amount of compensation payable for bovine animals caused to be slaughtered by the Secretary of State in accordance with section 32 of the Animal Health Act 1981 because they are affected with brucellosis or tuberculosis, have been exposed to infection or are reactors when tested for either disease, by reference to the market value of the animal or the average price, calculated in accordance with Schedule 2 to the principal Order.
Subject to a saving in relation to animals for which compensation has been calculated before the coming into force of this Order, this Order amends the definition of “market value” in the principal Order so that in relation to animals over 30 months old the market value is the higher of either the price which could have been obtained for the animal on the open market or the price which would have applied if the animal had been slaughtered in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No. 716/96 (O.J. L.99, 19.4.96, p.14) (article 2(2)).
A Compliance Cost assessment in relation to this Order has been placed in the library of each House of Parliament. Copies can be obtained from Scottish Office Agriculture, Environment and Fisheries Department, Room 350, Pentland House, 47 Robbs Loan, Edinburgh, EH14 1TW.
