(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Disease Control (Interim Measures) (Wales) (No. 2) Order 2002 (S.I. 2002/2304 (W. 229)) (the “principal Order”).
The principal amendments are—
(a)the deletion of article 5 of the principal Order which provides that it shall generally be unlawful to hunt certain species with dogs save under the authority of a permit issued by a veterinary inspector; and
(b)the replacement of article 3(3)(f) so as to provide for movements of rams onto any premises not to give rise to a standstill requirement there (as referred to in article 3(1)(b) of the principal Order) provided that the ram is being returned to those premises from a place to which it was moved for breeding purposes and that it is isolated from other animals for 20 days after the date of its return.
A regulatory appraisal has not been prepared for this Order.
