Measures applying in a vaccination zone or to premises under notice

8.—(1) The National Assembly must, in a declaration of a vaccination zone or in a vaccination notice—

(a) require the vaccination of poultry, other captive birds or any specified category of poultry or other captive bird in accordance with instructions issued by it; and

(b) where vaccination is to be carried out by the National Assembly, require co-operation with any person authorised by it to carry out vaccination.

(2) No person is to move any poultry, other captive bird or their products—

(a) out of a vaccination zone; or

(b) out of premises which are the subject of a vaccination notice;

except under the authority of a licence.

(3) In paragraph (2), the “products” (“cynhyrchion”) of poultry or other captive birds means any carcase, egg or any other thing originating or made (whether in whole or in part) from poultry or other captive birds or the carcases of such birds.

(4) Paragraph (2) does not apply to—

(a) products which derive from poultry or other captive birds located outside a vaccination zone or premises which are the subject of a vaccination notice; or

(b) the retail distribution of poultry eggs and movements subsequent to such distribution.

(5) Paragraphs (2) to (4) apply without prejudice to any other requirement or restriction applying in any part of a zone or premises because that part of the zone or premises falls within another zone declared by the National Assembly, or is the subject of another notice served by the National Assembly, for the purposes of reducing the risk of the spread of avian influenza or any other purpose.

(6) Any person moving poultry, other captive birds or their products under this regulation must keep a record, in the form of a consignment note or otherwise, of the date of the movement and the registration of any vehicle used, for at least six weeks after the date of the movement.
