Alternative measures where avian influenza is confirmed at a hatchery or in other captive birds on special category premises
33.—(1) If the National Assembly is satisfied, following confirmation of highly pathogenic avian influenza at a hatchery or in other captive birds on special category premises, that applying less stringent measures than those set out in articles 28 to 31 would not endanger disease control, it may decide—
(a)not to make a declaration of any controlled zone around the premises;
(b)to declare fewer zones than required under article 28;
(c)to declare a controlled zone smaller in size than provided for in article 29;
(d)to specify in its declaration of a controlled zone that one or more of the measures set out in Schedules 4 and 5 do not apply in that zone.
(2) The National Assembly must carry out a risk assessment before reaching a decision under paragraph (1).
