Zootechnical Standards Amendment (Scotland) Regulations 2007 (S.S.I. No. 521 of 2007).

These Regulations amend for Scotland the Zootechnical Standards Regulations 1992 so as to give effect to Community legislation regarding reproductive material of pure-bred breeding animals of the bovine species. The amendments: place obligations on recognized organizations to ensure that semen which is intended for intra-Community trade is collected and processed at an EC collection centre and stored at an EC storage centre; and require recognized organizations to accept for breeding purposes bovine ova and embryos which satisfy the criteria specified in Council Directive 87/328/EEC on the acceptance for breeding purposes of pure-bred breeding animals of the bovine species.
