  "long_title": "This Order revokes and replaces the Disease Control (Interim Measures) (England) (No. 2) Order 2003. It changes the provisions of that Order as follows—It removes the cessation provision so that the Order now has permanent effect (article 1);It amends the provisions relating to the standstill period so that the arrival of a pig triggers a 20 day standstill on any pigs on the premises and a 6 day standstill on any cattle, goats and sheep (article 3);It amends Schedule 2 so that movements of animals on to premises licensed under the Animal Gatherings Order 2003 do not trigger the standstill period;It adds paragraph 12 to Schedule 1 (movement of rams and bulls for breeding) and paragraphs 6, 7 and 8 (provisions concerning breeding rams, bulls and goats) to Schedule 2.",
