United Kingdom
Operators, including transporters, shall ensure that where water exchange is necessary, it only takes place as follows:
in the case of transport on land: at exchange points where the exchange does not alter the health status of the aquatic animals being transported, or those at the place of destination or en route to that destination;
in the case of transport by well-boat: at a distance of at least 10 km from any aquaculture establishments which are located en route from the place of loading to the place of destination.
Operators, including transporters, shall ensure that water exchanges as referred to in paragraph 1, do not take place in areas which are subject to movement restrictions or emergency measures.
