(This note is not part of the Order.)
This Order further amends the Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy Order (Northern Ireland) 1995 so as to allow the Department of Agriculture to impose requirements on the owner or person in charge of animals which have been exposed to the infection of bovine spongiform encephalopathy or the carcases of such animals. These requirements in particular relate to the detention of the animals or carcases and to the cleansing and disinfection of the premises on which they are kept and of certain things used in connection with them.
