Article 5 Notification of disease in laboratory samples

Subject to paragraph (2) below, where by reason of a laboratory examination of a sample taken from a bovine animal, evidence of the existence of enzootic bovine leukosis is identified, the person in charge of the laboratory must, within 24 hours, notify the F1Welsh Ministers, of that fact.

The obligation to give notification in paragraph (1) does not apply where enzootic bovine leukosis has been deliberately introduced into a laboratory sample.
