Artificial Insemination of Cattle (Emergency Licences) (England) Regulations 2001 (S.I. No. 1513 of 2001).

Regulation 3 of these Regulations empowers the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food to issue emergency licences during outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease (as defined in regulation 2). Regulation 4 of these Regulations provides that an emergency licence may authorize the licensee to do things that would normally be prohibited by the Artificial Insemination of Cattle (Animal Health) (England and Wales) Regulations 1985, which controls a range of activities related to the artificial insemination of cattle. Regulation 5 provides that anyone making a statement or providing information for the purpose of obtaining an emergency licence must reasonably believe that the statement or the information is true. Regulation 6 of these Regulations amends regulation 4 of the 1985 Regulations to provide that the 1985 Regulations shall not apply in relation to anything done in accordance with an emergency licence issued under regulation 3 of these Regulations.
