Article 25 Supply of information

On receiving notification under Article 8(2) of the Council Regulation that a person has become the keeper on a holding, the Secretary of State must, subject to paragraph (2), allocate a flockmark in respect of each flock of sheep on the holding and a herdmark in respect of each herd of goats on the holding.

When the holding is a slaughterhouse or a market, the Secretary of State must allocate a flockmark or herdmark only where the Secretary of State deems it appropriate to do so.

The keeper must notify the Secretary of State in writing of any change in the information specified in Article 8(2)(a) of the Council Regulation within 30 days of such change.
