# Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, Division CHAPTER A: Measures following the suspicion of the presence of a TSE in ovine and caprine animals

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

If a TSE is suspected in an ovine or caprine animal on a holding ... and until the results of the confirmatory examinations are available, all other ovine and caprine animals on that holding shall be placed under an official movement restriction.
If there is evidence that the holding where the animal was present when the TSE was suspected is unlikely to be the holding where the animal could have been exposed to the TSE, the appropriate authority may decide that other holdings or only the holding of exposure shall be placed under official control, depending on the epidemiological information available.
The milk and the milk products derived from the ovine and caprine animals of a holding placed under official control, which are present on that holding from the date when the presence of the TSE is suspected until the results of the confirmatory examinations are available, shall only be used within that holding.
