# The Poultry Compartments (Wales) Order 2010, Note: Explanatory note

Extent: E+W

(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order implements Commission Regulation (EC) No. 616/2009 which makes provision for the recognition of poultry compartments which meet high standards of biosecurity (OJ No L 181, 14.7.2009, p 16). Since application for recognition is voluntary the only sanction for failure to comply with the requirements of this Order is withdrawal of an approval of premises as a compartment.
