(1)

This article applies where an inspector has reasonable grounds to suspect that ruminant related fluid or any means of movement, including any vehicle or any container or pipe, by, in or through which, any ruminant related fluid is discharged, released, disposed of or carried from any premises to any place, constitutes a disease risk.

(2)

Where an inspector has such a suspicion in respect of any ruminant related fluid or any such means of movement, that inspector may serve a notice on the person in charge of the ruminant related fluid or means of movement.

(3)

The notice may–

(a)

specify the method of cleansing and disinfection of any such means of movement;

(b)

specify the method of disposal of any ruminant related fluid, or any fluid or any material or liquid other than ruminant related fluid, remaining in the means of movement by, in or through which, the ruminant related fluid was discharged, released, disposed of or carried;

(c)

prohibit the use of such means of movement until an inspector is satisfied that the required cleansing and disinfection has satisfactorily been carried out; and

(d)

require compliance with any provision of this Order within such reasonable period as may be specified in the notice.
