If infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (M. bovis, M. caprae and M. tuberculosis) in cervid animals kept on the establishment has been reported, such animals may be moved to another Member State only when all cervid animals older than 6 weeks kept on the establishment have been tested on two occasions, with a minimum interval of 6 months, for infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (M. bovis, M. caprae and M. tuberculosis), with negative results. The first test must be performed on cervid animals or samples collected from cervid animals no earlier than 6 months after the removal of the last confirmed case and of the last animal which tested positive using a diagnostic method.
