  "text": "(1) In this article a “cross-border movement” means the movement of an animal—\n(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\n(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.\n(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.\n(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.",
