The Avian Influenza (Vaccination) (Wales) (No.2) Regulations 2006

Emergency vaccination without an approved plan

10.—(1) This regulation applies when the National Assembly declares an emergency vaccination zone or serves an emergency vaccination notice before an emergency vaccination plan has been approved by the European Commission in accordance with Article 54 of the Directive.

(2) No person may move any poultry, any other captive bird, their carcases or any egg from poultry or other captive birds—

(a) from premises within the zone to other premises within the zone;

(b) into or out of the zone; or

(c) into or out of premises that are the subject of a notice.

(3) Paragraph (2) does not apply to—

(a) any of the permitted movements listed in the Schedule if that movement is licensed by a veterinary inspector or an inspector acting under his or her direction;

(b) the retail distribution of poultry eggs, other hatching eggs, and movements subsequent to such distribution; or

(c) the movement of carcases or eggs for disposal.

(4) The occupier of premises to which day-old chicks, live poultry (except those going for slaughter) or other captive birds are moved under any of paragraphs 5 to 10 of the Schedule, must ensure that those day-old chicks, poultry or other captive birds are placed in a part of premises where there is no other poultry.

(5) The occupier of premises to which live poultry (except those going for slaughter) or other captive birds are moved under paragraph 10 of the Schedule, must ensure that those poultry or other captive birds are vaccinated without delay if vaccination is required at those premises by a declaration or emergency vaccination notice under regulation 6(1).

(6) The occupier of a slaughterhouse to which poultry for slaughter are moved under paragraph 11, 12 or 13 of the Schedule, must ensure that those poultry are slaughtered without delay.

(a) from a zone equivalent to an emergency vaccination zone declared in Scotland, England or Northern Ireland; or

(b) from premises which are the subject of a notice equivalent to a vaccination notice in Scotland, England or Northern Ireland,

where that zone has been declared, or that notice has been served, before an emergency vaccination plan has been approved by the European Commission in accordance with Article 54 of the Directive.

(8) Paragraph (7) only applies if the occupier to whose premises the thing is moved is aware, or should reasonably have been aware, that it has been moved from such a zone or from premises under such a notice.
