# The Specified Bovine Material (No. 2) Order 1996, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order revokes and re-makes with amendments the Specified Bovine Material Order 1996.
The Order makes a distinction between the general category of bovine animals over six months old and bovine animals which are slaughtered in pursuance of the purchase and slaughter scheme introduced by Commission Regulation (EC) No. 716/996, adopting exceptional support measures for the beef market in the United Kingdom.
Under the scheme both specified bovine material and other material from animals slaughtered under the scheme must be destroyed by incineration and not used for any purpose. This Order specifies the provisions which do not apply to material from scheme animals and those which apply with modifications.
