Sheep and Goats Identification (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2002 (S.S.I. No. 39 of 2002).

These Regulations amend the marking requirements in the principal Regulations in relation to sheep and goats born on holdings in Scotland, sheep and goats moved from holdings in Scotland, sheep and goats imported to holdings in Scotland and subsequently moved, and where tags applied in accordance with such markings are replaced, to require that an individual number is inserted into the mark so applied. They add a new S-mark for unmarked movement from holdings in Scotland, however such a mark is not to be applied where a mark has been applied for the purposes of foot-and-mouth disease tagging. They amend the records requirements in relation to sheep and goats to provide that the details including the individual numbers may be recorded by keepers of sheep or goats, and must be recorded in certain circumstances. The notification of movements of sheep and goats to the Scottish Ministers is required. The Regulations also restrict the circumstances where a sheep or goat mark may be replaced.
