Article 5 Licences

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

–

(1)

Before granting a licence under this Order for the movement of any bird or poultry product, the Scottish Ministers must—

(a)

carry out an assessment of the movement; and

(b)

be satisfied that it will not significantly increase the risk of the spread of avian influenza.

(2)

Licences granted under this Order—

(a)

must be in writing;

(b)

may be general or specific;

(c)

must be made subject to such conditions as the Scottish Ministers consider necessary to—

(i)

control the spread of avian influenza; and

(ii)

ensure poultry products are obtained, handled, treated, stored and transported without contaminating products which may be moved without licence under this Order;

(d)

may be amended, suspended or revoked, in writing, at any time.

(3)

Except where otherwise directed by the Scottish Ministers, a licence granted—

(a)

in England by the Secretary of State; or

(b)

in Wales by the National Assembly for Wales,

for the same purpose as a licence which may be granted under this Order is valid for that purpose in Scotland and its conditions apply as if it was a licence granted under this Order.
