Article 18 Cross-border movements of animals into EnglandF1

England, Wales and Scotland

(1)

In this article a “cross-border movement” means the movement of an animal—

(a)

from Scotland into England, where the movement of the animal within Scotland is carried out under the authority of a licence (general or specific) issued by an authority in Scotland which is responsible for issuing licences in relation to the movement of animals; or

(b)

from Wales into England, where the movement of the animal within Wales is carried out under the authority of a licence (general or specific) issued by an authority in Wales which is responsible for issuing licences in relation to the movement of animals.

(2)

That part of a cross-border movement which is carried out within England is treated as if it were authorised by a general licence under article 12.

(3)

But paragraph (2) does not apply in the case of a cross-border movement by a person specified in a notice under article 13(1)(b), if that notice prohibits movements of animals by that person generally or to premises which are the destination of the cross-border movement in question.
