Sheep and Goats Identification (Wales) Regulations 2000 (S.R. No. 2335 (W. 152) of 2000).

These Regulations, which implement the provisions relating to sheep and goats of Council Directive 92/102/EC on the identification and registration of animals, make provision for records and other documentation concerning sheep and goats and the marking of sheep and goats. The Regulations require any person who keeps sheep or goats to notify the National Assembly for Wales (reg. 3). They require anyone keeping sheep or goats to keep movement records and, in the case of keepers who are sheepmeat producers for the purposes of Council Regulation 3493/90/EC additional records relating to specified events (regs. 4 and 5). The Regulations make provision for marking sheep and goats, either by an eartag or by a tattoo. They prohibit bringing sheep or goats into Wales from another Member State or from another part of the United Kingdom, Channel Islands or Isle of Man unless they are marked (regs. 9 and 10). The Regulations require the marking of sheep and goats when they are consigned to a destination outside Great Britain and within Great Britain. They also provide for documentation to be carried when sheep or goats are moved within Great Britain (reg. 13).
