Article 8 Temporary control zones

Following the service of a notice under article 6, the Secretary of State may declare a temporary control zone.

When a temporary control zone has been established in Wales or Scotland which touches the border with England the Secretary of State may establish an associated temporary control zone in England.

The location and size of the temporary control zone shall be such as the Secretary of State considers appropriate to prevent the spread of disease.

Where a temporary control zone has been established, no person may move any animal on to or off premises in the zone except in accordance with a licence issued by a veterinary inspector.

Premises partly inside and partly outside a temporary control zone are treated as being wholly inside that zone.
