Tuberculosis (Scotland) Amendment Order 2009 (S.S.I. No. 445 of 2009).

This Order amends the Tuberculosis (Scotland) Order 2007 so as to provide further to protect the officially tuberculosis free (“OTF”) status in terms of Directive 64/432/EEC. The Order provides for the testing of animals before they move from areas in England or Wales where there is a low incidence of tuberculosis, unless such animals were born and kept at all times on premises in a low incidence area. It also inserts a new provision in the principal Order disapplying pre and post movement testing in relation to movements of animals from one part of a cross-border holding to another.
