58.—(1) The National Assembly must ensure that any pigs kept on premises where avian influenza is confirmed are tested for infection with influenza virus of avian origin.
(2) The National Assembly may, if it thinks it necessary to prevent the spread of avian influenza or influenza of avian origin, require such tests to be carried out on other mammals kept on the premises.
59. The National Assembly must ensure that pigs to be killed under section 32 of the Act are—
(a)killed as soon as possible, in accordance with a veterinary inspector’s instructions;
(b)transported in accordance with a veterinary inspector’s instructions (if they are moved off the premises for slaughter).
60.—(1) No person is to (subject to paragraph (2)) move any mammal tested under article 58 off the premises until a veterinary inspector has confirmed that the mammal is not infective and licenses the movement.
(2) A veterinary inspector may license the movement of pigs and other mammals in which infection with influenza virus of avian origin is confirmed to other premises (including slaughterhouses) if he or she is satisfied (as a result of further tests on the animals) that the movement would not significantly increase the risk of the spread of avian influenza.
61.—(1) The National Assembly may, after carrying out a risk assessment and by notice to the occupier of contact premises, impose such of the requirements set out in articles 58, 59 and 60 as it considers necessary.
(2) Premises where influenza virus of avian origin may have been carried from premises where the virus has been confirmed or from where the virus may have been carried to the latter are contact premises for the purposes of this Part.
62.—(1) The National Assembly may, if it considers it necessary to monitor or detect the spread of avian influenza or influenza virus of avian origin in mammals—
(a)require surveillance for avian influenza or influenza virus of avian origin to be carried out on any premises; and
(b)impose (by declaration of an avian influenza (restrictions on mammals) zone or by notice to the occupier of any premises) such measures additional to those set out in articles 58 to 60 as it considers necessary.
(2) An avian influenza (restrictions on mammals) zone must be of such size as the National Assembly considers necessary to reduce the risk of the spread of avian influenza or influenza of avian origin in mammals.
