Regulation 8 Licence to carry out classification
England and Wales
The Welsh Ministers may grant a licence to carry out visual classification of bovine carcases to any person who applies for such a licence and who appears to the Welsh Ministers to be qualified to carry out the classification, if the Welsh Ministers are satisfied that the applicant is a fit and proper person to carry out classification of bovine carcases.
The licence may be made subject to such terms and conditions as the Welsh Ministers consider necessary for the purposes of paragraph (1).
In addition to the power to revoke a licence in the circumstances mentioned in Article 4(2) of the Commission Implementing Regulation (incorrect classification, presentations or identifications), the Welsh Ministers may suspend or revoke a licence granted to a person under this regulation if—
the person has contravened any of the terms or conditions of that licence; or
the Welsh Ministers are satisfied that the person holding that licence is no longer a fit and proper person to carry out classification of bovine carcases.
Where the Welsh Ministers take any decision in relation to a licence under this regulation which gives rise to a right to appeal under regulation 10, the Welsh Ministers must—
inform the person of the decision in writing;
give the reasons; and
explain that there is a right of appeal to a person appointed by the Welsh Ministers.
