# The Disease Control (Interim Measures) (Scotland) Amendment (No. 2) Order 2002, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Disease Control (Interim Measures) (Scotland) Order 2002 (“the principal Order”). It amends the 20 day standstill on the movement of animals which is contained in articles 3 to 5 of the principal Order, relative to breeding goats. It will allow breeding goats of either sex to move onto a holding for breeding purposes without triggering a 20 day standstill on that holding, and to return to their holding of origin without triggering a 20 day standstill.
This Order will require the making of consequential amendments to articles 6 and 13 of the Sheep and Goats Identification (Scotland) Regulations 2000.
A breach of the terms of the principal Order or of a licence issued thereunder constitutes an offence under the Animal Health Act 1981.
A Regulatory Impact Assessment has not been prepared for this Order.
