Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations apply only to Wales and temporarily disapply and replace the Sheep and Goats Identification (Wales) Regulations 2000 (S.I. 2000/2335). They implement the provisions relating to sheep and goats of the Council Directive 92/102/EEC on the identification and registration of animals (OJ No. L355, 5.12.92, p.32) and provide interim disease control-related measures for the period from 11th February 2002 to 30th November 2002.
They require a person keeping sheep or goats to notify the National Assembly (regulation 3) and to keep records of the movements and other details of sheep and goats (regulations 4 and 5).
Regulation 7 requires sheep and goats born in Wales to be marked with an Origin Mark and regulation 8 prohibits moving the animals from their holding of birth without an Origin Mark. Regulation 9 prohibits various general movements of sheep or goats unless they are marked with specified identification marks.
Regulation 10 provides for a maximum of 2 or 3 identification marks to be applied to a sheep or goat in most cases. Regulation 11 requires a sheep or goat imported from outside the European Union to be marked with an F Mark within 30 days.
Regulation 12 provides for a document containing specified information to accompany sheep or goats when they are moved, except in certain circumstances.
Regulations 13 to 15 provide for the removal, replacement and addition of the eartags and tattoos, and prohibits their defacement. Regulation 16 requires production of records to an inspector and regulation 17 provides for local authorities to enforce the provisions of these Regulations.
Breach of any provision of these Regulations is an offence under Section 73 of the Animal Health Act 1981 and is punishable on conviction with a fine.
A regulatory appraisal has not been prepared for these Regulations.
