SCHEDULE 4Administration of a veterinary medicinal product outside the terms of a marketing authorisation
Treatment in exceptional circumstances
7.
(1)
Where the health situation so requires, and where there is no suitable veterinary medicinal product available either as an authorised product or under the cascade, a veterinary surgeon may treat an animal with a veterinary medicinal product authorised in a third country; but if the veterinary surgeon has not obtained a certificate from the Secretary of State under regulation 25(5) permitting him to import it, he must obtain a certificate from the Secretary of State before he treats the animal.
(2)
The certificate may be granted subject to any condition the Secretary of State thinks fit.
