The samples, according to the structure of the rabbit production in each relevant constituent territory of Great Britain, can be taken:
(a)either at farm level,
(b)or at the level of the registered slaughterhouses (within the meaning of Council Directive 91/495/EEC).
... Some additional samples of drinking water and feedingstuffs may be taken at farm level, for the control of illegal substances.
