  SCHEDULE 2 FORMAT OF PASSPORTS

The Scottish Ministers, in exercise of the powers conferred by section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972[1], and of all other powers enabling them in that behalf, hereby make the following Regulations:

Citation, application and commencement
     1.  - (1) These Regulations may be cited as the Horse Passports (Scotland) Regulations 2005 and shall come into force on 16th May 2005.

    (2) These Regulations extend to Scotland only.

Interpretation
     2. In these Regulations-

    "horse" means a domestic animal of the equine or asinine species or a crossbreed of those species;

    "keeper" means a person appointed by the owner to have day to day charge of the horse;

    "local authority" means a council constituted under section 2 of the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994[2];

    "passport" means-

    (a) an identification document for a horse issued by a passport-issuing organisation containing all the information required by regulation 9(3) or 1(3); or

    (b) in the case of such an identification document issued before the coming into force of these Regulations but which does not contain the pages in Section IX of the passport, that document with the Section IX pages attached in accordance with regulation 10,

and "Section IX pages" means those pages;

    "passport-issuing organisation" has the meaning given to that term in regulation 3; and

    "sell" includes any transfer of ownership, and "sale" shall be construed accordingly.

Organisations authorised to issue passports
     3. The following organisations are authorised to issue passports (and any such organisation is referred to in these Regulations as a "passport issuing organisation")-

    (a) organisations which maintain or establish stud-books for registered horses and which are recognised by the Scottish Ministers or by any other authority in the United Kingdom competent to recognise such organisations under regulation 3 of the Horses (Zootechnical Standards) Regulations 1992[3];

    (b) organisations recognised in another part of the United Kingdom or another Member State under legislation which implements either-

      (i) Commission Decision 92/353/EC (laying down the criteria for approval or recognition of organisations and associations which maintain or establish stud-books for registered equidae[4]); or

      (ii) Commission Decision 2000/68/EC (amending Commission Decision 93/623/EEC and establishing the identification of equidae for breeding and production[5]); and

    (c) international associations or organisations which manage or regulate horses for competition or racing and which are registered with the Scottish Ministers under regulation 4.

International associations or organisations
     4.  - (1) Any international association or organisation which intends to manage or regulate horses for competition or racing in Scotland shall register with the Scottish Ministers under these Regulations before it does so.

    (2) Any international association or organisation which manages or regulates horses for competition or racing in Scotland and which immediately prior to the date of these Regulations coming into force was registered under article 4 of the Horse Passports Order 1997[6] shall be deemed to be registered for the purposes of paragraph (1).

    (3) Any international association or organisation registered under an equivalent statutory provision in force in any part of the United Kingdom other than Scotland immediately prior to the date of these Regulations shall be deemed to be registered with the Scottish Ministers in terms of paragraph (1).

    (4) The Scottish Ministers may refuse to register any international association or organisation which seeks registration under paragraph (1), or may withdraw registration from an international association or organisation registered or deemed to be registered under paragraph (2) or (3), and if the Scottish Ministers so refuse or withdraw registration the refusal or withdrawal, and the reasons for it, shall be given in writing.

Powers and duties of passport-issuing organisation
     5.  - (1) The passport-issuing organisation is "the competent authority" for the purposes of the passport.

    (2) A passport-issuing organisation may cancel a passport issued by it if it is satisfied on reasonable grounds that-

    (a) the provisions of these Regulations have not been or are not being complied with; or

    (b) the owner has left the passport incomplete or it has been falsified in any way.

    (3) When a passport is returned because a horse has died, the passport issuing organisation shall mark the passport accordingly but may then return it to the owner if permitted by its rules.

    (2) It shall keep these records until three years after the death of the horse.

    (3) A passport-issuing organisation shall supply to the Scottish Ministers information from its records in such form and at such intervals as they may require by notice in writing.

Application for a passport
     7.  - (1) An application for a passport shall-

    (a) be made by the owner of the horse;

    (b) be made in writing to a passport-issuing organisation; and

    (c) be in the format specified by that organisation.

    (2) No person shall apply for more than one passport for a horse except-
