Paragraph 2 Identification of cohorts and offspring

Article 13(2) of the EU TSE Regulation, as read with Article 2(1)(b) and (2) of Commission Decision 2007/411/EC, applies with regard to an inspector identifying relevant bovine offspring and cohorts.

An inspector must serve a notice on the animal owner prohibiting movement of traced offspring and cohorts that have been identified from moving off the holding of residence, and remove the cattle passports.

If the offspring or cohorts cannot be immediately identified an inspector may serve a notice on the animal owner to prohibit the movement of any bovine animal from a relevant holding pending identification.

For the purpose of this paragraph the date of birth of a suspect bovine animal is the date shown on the cattle passport.
