EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (Exceptions to section 14) (Scotland) Order 2012 ("the 2012 Order") which specifies the types of animal and the types of plant to which the offence provisions in section 14(1)(a)(i) and 14(2) of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 ("the 1981 Act") (as substituted by section 14(2)(a) of the Wildlife and Natural Environment (Scotland) Act 2011) do not apply.

Article 2(2) of this Order amends article 2(1) of the 2012 Order so as to make clear that the type of animal listed in Part 1 of the Schedule is specified for the purposes of section 14(2B)(a) of the 1981 Act insofar as that section disapplies subsection (1)(a)(i) of section 14 of the 1981 Act to those types of animal.

Article 2(3) of this Order amends article 2(2) of the 2012 Order so as to refer to "Scientific name" instead of "Latin name".

Article 2(4) of, and the Schedule to, this Order substitutes a new Part 2 into the Schedule to the 2012 Order. In the newly substituted Part 2, a number of the entries in the table have been amended so as to correctly refer to the current nomenclature for these species. The heading in column (2) of the table has also been amended to refer to "Scientific name" instead of "Latin name".
