(b)the terms of the marketing authorisation have not been complied with;

(4) When he suspends, varies or revokes a marketing authorisation, the Secretary of State may additionally prohibit the supply of a veterinary medicinal product, and if necessary require the marketing authorisation holder to recall the product; and failure to comply with a requirement or prohibition under this sub-paragraph is an offence.
