S.L. 437.81 Art. 12Measures to be takenbyVeterinary Services.

The Veterinary Services shall take the necessary measures to ensure that:

(a) when animals of susceptible species are moved out of the holding on which they are kept, they are identified in such a way as to enable their holding of origin, or the holding from which they have come, and their movements to be traced rapidly. However, for certain categories of animals and without prejudice to measures concerning tracing of pigs for the control of classical swine fever, the competent authority may, in certain circumstances and having regard to the health situation, authorise other ways of rapidly tracing their holding of origin, or the holding from which they have come, and their movements. The arrangements for identifying the animals or for tracing the holding of origin shall be determined by the competent authority;

(b) the owner or keeper of the animals is required to supply the competent authority, on request by that authority, with information concerning animals entering or leaving his holding;

(c) all persons engaged in the transport or marketing of animals of susceptible species are able to supply the competent authority with information concerning the movements of animals which they have transported or marketed and to furnish all the details concerning such information.
