18.(1) The Ministry may, whenever it deems it expedient so to do, for the purpose of preventing the introduction of disease into Northern Ireland, make orders for prohibiting [ or regulating the importation of (a)animals, poultry, carcases and eggs, and (b)other things, whether animate or inanimate, by or by means of which it appears to the Department that any disease might be carried or transmitted]. (2) The Ministry shall prohibit the [importation] of animals or of any specified kind thereof whenever it is not satisfied with respect to any country or any specified part thereof, that having regard to the sanitary condition of the animals therein or imported therefrom, to the laws made by such country for the regulation of the importation and exportation of animals, and for the prevention of the introduction or spreading of disease, and to the administration of such laws, the circumstances are such as to afford reasonable security against the importation therefrom of animals affected with disease. (3) This section shall apply to the importation in an aircraft of animals and other things not landed from the aircraft as it applies in relation to their landing from an aircraft. (4) If an animal or other thing is imported in an aircraft in contravention of an order made under this section, then (without prejudice to the liability therefor of any other person under sub-section (1) of section forty-five and sub-section (2) of section forty-six) the person for the time being having possession and control of the aircraft, as owner, hirer or otherwise, shall be guilty of an offence against this Act.
