Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the two Scottish Declaratory Orders declaring infected areas under Part III of the Foot-and-Mouth Disease Order 1983 (S.I. 1983/1950) in order to permit the transit of animals through those infected areas by motorway, trunk road or railway. These amendments are in consequence of articles 4 and 5 of the Foot-and-Mouth Disease Declaratory (Controlled Area) (Scotland) (No. 2) Order 2001 (S.S.I. 2001/60).
