They regulate—
(a)the export of live animals (regulation 3);
(b)the export of semen, ova or embryos of animals of the bovine, ovine, caprine or porcine species or other biungulates (regulation 4).
They create an offence of offering to export anything which it is prohibited to export under the Regulations (regulation 5).
They provide powers for enforcement, and powers for officers of Revenue and Customs (regulations 6 to 8) and create an offence of obstruction (regulation 9).
Breach of the Regulations is an offence, punishable with up to two years’ imprisonment.
The Regulations are enforced by the Secretary of State or the local authority (regulation 14).
