Regulation 11 Restrictions relating to vaccinated zoo birds
United Kingdom
No person shall move any vaccinated zoo bird unless he is licensed to do so by a veterinary inspector or by an inspector acting under the direction of a veterinary inspector.
A veterinary inspector or inspector acting under his direction may only license the movement of vaccinated zoo birds—
to a zoo in the United Kingdom or in F1a member State; or
directly to a third country.
A veterinary inspector or inspector acting under his direction must not license a movement to F2a member State or to a third country unless its competent authority has authorised the movement.
An inspector must supervise any movement licensed under paragraph (2) while the bird is in England.
No person shall release any vaccinated zoo bird into the wild unless he is licensed to do so by a veterinary inspector.
No person shall supply or sell, for human consumption, a product from a vaccinated zoo bird.
In this regulation, “competent authority” means—
in relation to a member State, the authority in that member State authorised to carry out physical checks or administrative formalities in accordance with Council Directive 2005/94/EC on Community measures for the control of avian influenza and repealing Directive 92/40/EECf1; and
in relation to third countries, the authority in that third country authorised to regulate the importation of zoo birds.
