22.—(1) If a cattle passport is lost, stolen or destroyed, the keeper of the animal to which it relates shall notify the appropriate Minister in writing within 14 days of becoming aware of the fact.
(2) In the event of notification under paragraph (1), a replacement cattle passport may be provided by the appropriate Minister if the keeper so requests.
(3) The appropriate Minister shall only provide a replacement cattle passport if he is satisfied that he can accurately reconstruct the movements of the animal since birth or importation.
(4) If a cattle passport has been lost, stolen or destroyed and the appropriate Minister has not provided a replacement, or is unable to provide a replacement because he cannot satisfy himself in accordance with the preceding paragraph, the animal to which it relates shall not be moved off a holding except (under the authority of a licence granted by the appropriate Minister) to a knacker’s yard or hunt kennel.
(5) If a person who has obtained a replacement cattle passport subsequently finds the original cattle passport, he shall notify the appropriate Minister within 7 days and enclose with the notification the original cattle passport.
