EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Foot-and-Mouth Disease Declaratory (Controlled Area) (Scotland) (No. 3) Order 2001 ("the Controlled Area Order") to allow the Scottish Ministers to authorise the use of places other than collecting centres for licensing onward movement of animals to slaughterhouses. It further amends the restrictions in the Controlled Area Order on gatherings of animals to allow an inspector of a local authority, or the Scottish Ministers, to permit these by licence, and to specifically prohibit on farm sales of standing stock.
