Occupier and changes of occupier 3 1 Any notice that is required or authorised under these Regulations to be served on the occupier may be served on a person appearing to the person serving the notice to be the occupier. 2 Where a notice has been served on a person referred to in paragraph (1), and it later becomes clear to the person who served the notice that another person is the keeper of the pigs then a replacement notice must be served on the other person. 3 Where there is a change in occupation of premises subject to any controls or restrictions under these Regulations— a the existing occupier must immediately notify the appropriate authority of the details of the new occupier before the change in occupation takes place; and b if the new occupier does not have day-to-day responsibility for restricted pigs under these Regulations the new occupier must allow the keeper of the restricted pigs, or any person acting on behalf of the keeper, to enter the premises to feed or otherwise attend to the welfare of the pigs during the period of control or restriction and for seven days following the ending of such restrictions. Exemptions 4 1 These Regulations do not apply— a to anything done under the terms of a licence granted under the Specified Animal Pathogens Order 2008 , the Specified Animal Pathogens (Scotland) Order 2009 or the Specified Animal Pathogens (Wales) Order 2008 ; or b at any border inspection post within the meaning of, and for so long as it remains approved for the purposes of, regulation 11 of the Trade in Animals and Related Products Regulations 2011 , regulation 9 of the Trade in Animals and Related Products (Scotland) Regulations 2012 or regulation 11 of the Trade in Animals and Related Products (Wales) Regulations 2011 . 2 Parts 2 and 3 do not apply in relation to swine vesicular disease in any period during which action is being taken by the appropriate authority under the Foot-and-Mouth Disease (England) Order 2006 , the Foot-and-Mouth Disease (Scotland) Order 2006 or the Foot-and-Mouth Disease (Wales) Order 2006 . PART 2 Notification and investigation of suspicion of disease Notification requirements 5 1 Any person who suspects that a domestic or feral pig or carcase is infected with disease must immediately notify the appropriate authority. 2 Any person who examines a sample taken from a pig or a carcase and who— a suspects that the pig or carcase is infected with disease, or b detects evidence of antibodies to, or antigens of, disease, must immediately notify the appropriate authority. Initial measures following notification 6 1 This regulation applies where the appropriate authority receives a notification under regulation 5, and a veterinary inspector considers that further investigation relating to the possible presence of disease is necessary. 2 A veterinary inspector must examine the pig or carcase, and may examine any other pig or carcase on the same premises. 3 A veterinary inspector must as soon as reasonably practicable orally inform (followed up by service of a notice by a veterinary inspector or by an inspector under the direction of a veterinary inspector) the occupier that the further investigation will be undertaken, and except in the case of a notification involving a feral pig or feral pig carcase, the occupier so informed must comply with the initial measures set down in paragraph (4). 4 For the purposes of paragraph (3), the initial measures are— a not to move, or permit to be moved— i the pig or carcase which is the subject of the notification from the premises where it is located; ii any other pig or carcase to or from those premises; iii any other animal from those premises if the veterinary inspector is of the opinion that it is likely to spread disease; iv any thing off those premises unless the veterinary inspector is of the opinion that it is not likely to spread disease; b to ensure that any person who has been in contact with any pig or carcase, or who has been on any part of the premises that may be contaminated with disease, takes all necessary biosecurity precautions to reduce the risk of spreading disease before leaving the premises; and c where the occupier is an operator of a slaughterhouse— i not to permit any pig to be slaughtered unless authorised by a veterinary inspector; and ii to identify and isolate any carcase in respect of which the notification requirements in regulation 5 apply, any carcase originating from the same premises (and any carcase that has been in contact with any such carcase) so that such carcases do not come into contact with any other pig or carcase at the slaughterhouse. 5 In the case of a notification involving a feral pig or feral pig carcase the occupier must comply with any initial measures that are required by the veterinary inspector. 6 The initial measures required under this regulation continue to apply until— a a veterinary inspector informs the occupier that the presence of disease on the premises is not suspected; b the premises are designated by notice as suspect premises by an inspector in accordance with regulation 7(2); or c the occupier is notified that the measures no longer apply. Measures on suspicion of disease 7 1 This regulation applies where a veterinary inspector suspects— a that a pig or carcase is or has been infected with disease; and b that pig or carcase is or has been on any premises other than in circumstances where Part 4 (disease at a slaughterhouse) or Part 5 (suspicion and confirmation of disease in feral pigs) applies. 2 An inspector must serve a notice on the occupier designating premises as suspect premises, and Schedule 1 applies upon service of that notice. 3 A veterinary inspector must take all reasonable steps to establish whether or not disease is present at the suspect premises. 4 For the purposes of paragraph (3), a veterinary inspector may, if the Chief Veterinary Officer considers it necessary, take and have tested— a samples from any pig or carcase that is, or has previously been, on the premises; b environmental samples from the premises. 5 In the case of classical swine fever and African swine fever, where required by the epidemiological situation, the Chief Veterinary Officer may order and arrange for the killing of any pig on the suspect premises and arrange for the taking of a sufficient number of post-mortem samples to confirm or negate the presence of disease. 6 The notice served under paragraph (2) may only be revoked if a veterinary inspector is satisfied that the suspect premises no longer pose a risk of spread of disease. 7 Where that notice is revoked, the measures in Schedule 1 cease to apply upon revocation of that notice. 8 In the case of swine vesicular disease only, where a seropositive pig has been detected on premises designated as suspect premises but none of the pigs on the premises show clinical signs of that disease, a veterinary inspector must take further samples at least 28 days from the date when the disease was first suspected by the veterinary inspector and have those samples tested. 9 If such tests reveal no evidence of swine vesicular disease on the premises, the seropositive pig must be— a slaughtered at a designated slaughterhouse— i with the pig being kept separate from other pigs in transport and at the slaughterhouse; and ii ensuring that the carcase and any animal by-product coming from the seropositive pig is kept separate and not exported from the United Kingdom; or b killed on the suspect premises and subsequently destroyed under supervision of a veterinary inspector. Measures at contact premises 8 1 Where premises have been shown to have an epidemiological link with— a suspect premises, b infected premises, or c other premises on which disease has been detected, including where a veterinary inspector is of the view that due to its proximity to an infected premises it is likely that disease may have been transmitted there, an inspector must serve a notice on the occupier designating that premises as contact premises, and Schedule 1 applies upon service of that notice. 2 Following the designation of premises as contact premises — a where pigs on the contact premises do not show clinical signs of disease, but where the suspicion of disease cannot be ruled out, the Chief Veterinary Officer must assess the epidemiological situation at the premises, and on the basis of that assessment may— i order and arrange for the killing of any pig on the premises if considered necessary to prevent the spread of disease; ii require a person under the direction of a veterinary inspector, to monitor all pigs on the contact premises (which may require the taking and testing of samples) until the veterinary inspector is satisfied that the disease is not present; b where any pig on the contact premises shows clinical signs of disease— i if considered to be necessary to prevent the spread of disease, the Chief Veterinary Officer may order and arrange for the killing of any pig on the contact premises, and arrange for the taking of a sufficient number of post-mortem samples to confirm or negate the presence of disease; and ii a veterinary inspector must take all reasonable steps to establish whether or not disease is present at the contact premises, which may include the taking and testing of samples, until satisfied that the disease is not present on the premises. 3 Where pigs have been killed and disease cannot be negated, cleansing and disinfection must be carried out in accordance with regulations 13 and 14, followed by restocking with sentinel pigs unless a veterinary inspector specifies otherwise in writing, in accordance with regulation 18. 4 The notice served under paragraph (1) may not be revoked until the Chief Veterinary Officer is satisfied following any tests or actions of a veterinary inspector, or the satisfactory completion of the steps in paragraph (3), that it is no longer appropriate for the premises to remain designated as contact premises. 5 Where the notice served under paragraph (1) is revoked, the measures in Schedule 1 cease to apply upon revocation of that notice. Temporary control zone 9 1 The appropriate authority may declare a temporary control zone around suspect premises. 2 The temporary control zone must be of such extent as the appropriate authority considers necessary to reduce the risk of the spread of disease as far as practicable. 3 A person must not move a pig from premises in the temporary control zone, except in accordance with a licence granted by a veterinary inspector. 4 The declaration may apply any measure of a type listed in Schedule 1 as the appropriate authority considers necessary in all or part of the temporary control zone in order to prevent or reduce the risk of the spread of disease. 5 Any part of a temporary control zone that is subsequently incorporated into a protection or surveillance zone will cease to exist as a temporary control zone. 6 Where disease has been negated at suspect premises, the appropriate authority must revoke the temporary control zone declaration. PART 3 Infected premises Designating premises as infected premises when the presence of disease is confirmed 10 1 Where the Chief Veterinary Officer is satisfied as a result of any— a tests carried out under these Regulations, b clinical signs in any pig or carcase, or c epidemiological connections, that disease is or has been present on premises, an inspector must serve a notice on the occupier designating them to be infected premises. 2 Where such a notice is served on the occupier Schedule 1 applies, together with any additional measures that a veterinary inspector considers necessary in order to reduce the risk of the spread of disease. 3 This regulation does not apply where disease is confirmed in a slaughterhouse or in feral pigs. Killing pigs on infected premises 11 When premises are designated as infected premises the appropriate authority must arrange for the killing of all pigs on the premises unless regulation 12 applies. Conservation and related measures 12 1 The appropriate authority may decide not to kill a pig— a kept in a zoo or wildlife park; or b kept for— i educational purposes; ii scientific research or breeding for such research; or iii purposes related to conservation of species or genetic resource. 2 Where the appropriate authority decides under paragraph (1) not to kill a pig, a veterinary inspector must serve a notice on the occupier of the premises on which it is kept detailing the biosecurity arrangements that the occupier must follow to reduce the risk of the spread of disease. 3 The appropriate authority may for disease control reasons at any time decide to order the killing of a pig that has previously been spared under paragraph (1). Disposal of carcases and preliminary cleansing and disinfection 13 1 Where a pig is killed under these Regulations other than in accordance with regulation 19(4), the appropriate authority must arrange for the disposal of the carcase. 2 The appropriate authority may arrange for the disposal of the carcase of any pig that has died, or is suspected to have died, from disease. 3 The appropriate authority must ensure that any such disposal is carried out in such a way as to avoid the risk of the spread of disease. 4 Following such disposal the appropriate authority must without delay carry out preliminary cleansing and disinfection of— a all parts of the premises (other than fields, slurry lagoons and other parts of the premises where the disinfectant would have no effect) and all equipment or other things to which the pig has had access; and b anything contaminated during the killing of the pig. Notice requiring secondary cleansing and disinfection 14 1 Irrespective of whether or not pigs are to be reintroduced on infected or contact premises, an inspector may serve a notice on the occupier requiring secondary cleansing and disinfection as specified in the notice. 2 Secondary cleansing and disinfection must be carried out in such a way as to minimise the risk of the spread of disease or survival of any virus. 3 If the occupier does not comply with the notice, an inspector may arrange for secondary cleansing and disinfection to be carried out by another person at the expense of the occupier. 4 Following completion of the secondary cleansing and disinfection, a veterinary inspector must certify in writing when satisfied that the requirements of the notice have been completed. Use of approved disinfectants 15 Where disinfection is carried out under these Regulations the disinfectants must be— a approved by the appropriate authority under the Diseases of Animals (Approved Disinfectants) (England) Order 2007 , the Diseases of Animals (Approved Disinfectants) (Scotland) Order 2008 or the Diseases of Animals (Approved Disinfectants) (Wales) Order 2007 , and shown on the list of approved disinfectants published under the appropriate Order as being approved— i specifically as being effective against the spread of swine vesicular disease where that disease has been identified; or ii for effectiveness against the spread of disease other than swine vesicular disease; and b used at the authorised dilution rate and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Special measures to prevent the spread of African swine fever virus by vectors 16 1 Where the presence of vectors is suspected on premises where African swine fever has been confirmed, any building that has housed pigs (and the surrounding environment) must be checked by an inspector for the presence of vectors and, if deemed necessary, a veterinary inspector (or any person acting under the direction of a veterinary inspector) may— a arrange for the obtaining of specimens of the vectors and proportionate further monitoring; and b require the occupier to implement practical vector control measures. 2 Where such specimens are obtained the appropriate authority must arrange for appropriate laboratory tests to be carried out on them to confirm or negate the presence of the African swine fever virus in the vectors. Revocation of a regulation 10 notice 17 1 Unless otherwise provided for in this regulation, a notice under regulation 10 (designation of an infected premises) must not be revoked until a veterinary inspector is satisfied that sufficient time has elapsed for the virus of disease to have decayed naturally to the extent that the virus will no longer pose a risk of infecting a pig with disease. 2 A veterinary inspector, or an inspector acting under the direction of a veterinary inspector, may revoke such a notice of designation in relation to the whole or a part of the infected premises if— a any required cleansing and disinfection has been certified as satisfactorily completed in accordance with regulation 14(4); and b the premises have been tested for the existence of disease using sentinel pigs with negative results in accordance with regulation 18. 3 In the case of African swine fever (where the occurrence of disease has not been linked to vectors) or in the case of classical swine fever, as a derogation from the testing in accordance with paragraph (2)(b), such a notice may be revoked by a veterinary inspector if— a more than six months has elapsed from the completion of the cleansing and disinfection; and b the veterinary inspector is of the opinion that there is no further risk of the spread of disease. 4 In the case of African swine fever, where occurrence of disease has been linked to vectors, such a notice must not be revoked until— a all sentinel restocking in accordance with regulation 18 has been carried out without evidence of disease; and b a further 60 days has elapsed since full restocking. 5 Where such a notice is revoked, the measures in Schedule 1 (together with any additional measure imposed) cease to apply upon revocation of that notice. Restocking and testing with sentinel pigs on infected or contact premises 18 1 On infected premises or contact premises once a veterinary inspector has certified in accordance with regulation 14(4) that secondary cleansing and disinfection have been satisfactorily completed, sentinel pigs may be introduced (at the expense of the occupier) for monitoring for the resurgence of disease in accordance with this regulation as a precursor to full restocking of the premises with pigs. 2 Other than in the situation in paragraph (7), the number of sentinel pigs introduced by the occupier must be such restricted number as is deemed to be sufficient by a veterinary inspector to test for the continuing presence of disease on all parts of the premises where disease was formerly present. 3 The sentinel pigs may only be introduced in accordance with a licence granted by a veterinary inspector, and not before the following prescribed number of days, equivalent to the incubation period for the virus, after the secondary cleansing and disinfection has been certified as being satisfactorily completed in accordance with regulation 14(4)— a 40 days in the case of African swine fever; b 30 days in the case of classical swine fever; and c 28 days in the case of swine vesicular disease. 4 The sentinel pigs must have— a come from premises not subject to any controls or restrictions under these Regulations; or b been tested at the expense of the occupier before being brought on to the premises and found to be negative for the presence of antibodies against disease. 5 After the time limits set down in the following table a veterinary inspector must clinically examine all sentinel pigs on the premises and take a statistically valid number of samples deemed necessary for the serological testing for the presence of antibodies to the disease— African swine fever (where disease has not been linked to vectors) Classical swine fever Swine vesicular disease Number of days after the arrival of the last sentinel pig onto the premises 45 40 28 6 A person must not allow a sentinel pig to leave premises until negative results of the serological tests taken in accordance with paragraph (5) are obtained by the veterinary inspector. 7 For premises that only have pigs entirely enclosed in buildings, as an alternative to the veterinary inspector restricting the number of sentinel pigs in accordance with paragraph (2), the veterinary inspector may license the introduction of an unlimited number of sentinel pigs into enclosed buildings on the premises, but in such circumstances— a paragraphs (3), (4), (5) and (6) apply in relation to the introduction of the unlimited number of sentinel pigs; b the conditions in the following table apply— African swine fever (where disease has not been linked to vectors) Classical swine fever Swine vesicular disease All the sentinel pigs must arrive on the premises within the following periods from the date of arrival of the first sentinel pig 20 days 20 days 8 days ; and c in the case of swine vesicular disease, a person must not allow a pig to leave the premises until at least 60 days after the arrival of the last sentinel pig. 8 In the case of African swine fever where the disease has been linked to spread by vectors, restocking with sentinel pigs cannot take place for a period of six years. 9 The period of six years may be reduced where a veterinary inspector has supervised vector eradication measures on infected premises and is satisfied that— a the vector eradication measures have been successfully carried out under the supervision of a veterinary inspector; or b the persistence of the vector no longer presents a significant risk of transmitting African swine fever. 10 Where restocking has taken place in accordance with paragraphs (8) or (9), a person must not allow a pig to leave the premises after full repopulation until serological examinations with negative results for African swine fever have been taken at least 60 days after full repopulation in accordance with the Diagnostic Manual. PART 4 Suspicion and confirmation of disease at a slaughterhouse Measures on suspicion and confirmation of disease at a slaughterhouse 19 1 Where a veterinary inspector has examined a pig or pig carcase at a slaughterhouse and cannot negate the presence of disease an inspector must serve a notice on the operator of the slaughterhouse imposing the following measures— a no pig or carcase may be moved to or from the slaughterhouse; b no other animal may be moved to or from the slaughterhouse if the veterinary inspector suspects there is a risk that it could spread disease; c all biosecurity measures that the veterinary inspector believes are necessary must be taken by the operator; d no pig can be slaughtered unless authorised by a veterinary inspector; and e the operator must identify and isolate— i any carcase of a suspect pig; ii a pig that has come into contact with a suspect pig; iii any carcase from the same premises as a suspect pig; and iv any carcase that has been in contact with a paragraph (iii) carcase. 2 A veterinary inspector may take samples from a pig, carcase or any other thing and have those samples tested to ascertain whether or not disease is present at the slaughterhouse. 3 Following the results of the tests carried out under paragraph (2), where the Chief Veterinary Officer is satisfied that that disease is not present at the slaughterhouse— a a veterinary inspector must as soon as reasonably practicable orally inform the operator that disease has not been found to be present, at which point the paragraph (1) measures no longer apply; and b this must be followed up in writing as soon as reasonably practicable. 4 Following the results of the tests carried out under paragraph (2), where the Chief Veterinary Officer is satisfied that disease is present at the slaughterhouse, the appropriate authority must ensure that all pigs in the slaughterhouse are slaughtered without delay under the supervision of a veterinary inspector. 5 Following such slaughter— a the operator must destroy— i the carcases and offal of infected pigs; ii the carcases and offal of other pigs that a veterinary inspector suspects may be infected with disease; iii the carcases and offal of other pigs contaminated through contact with an infected pig or carcase; b cleansing and disinfection of buildings, equipment and vehicles (including control of vectors where African swine fever has been linked to spread by vectors) must be carried out by the operator as instructed by a veterinary inspector; c an epidemiological enquiry by a veterinary inspector must take place; d other than in the situation in sub-paragraph (e), a veterinary inspector must notify the operator of the removal of the paragraph (1) measures at the slaughterhouse on the expiry of 24 hours after cleansing and disinfection operations have been completed at the slaughterhouse to the satisfaction of the veterinary inspector; and e in the case of African swine fever, in addition to the veterinary inspector being satisfied in accordance with sub-paragraph (d), the veterinary inspector must be satisfied that any vector controls (if required) have been effectively applied before notifying the operator of the removal of the paragraph (1) measures. PART 5 Suspicion and confirmation of disease in feral pigs Measures on suspicion of disease in feral pigs 20 1 Where it is suspected that a feral pig is infected with disease— a a veterinary inspector must take all reasonable steps to establish whether or not that suspicion is correct; and b the appropriate authority must make available information regarding the suspicion to keepers and to hunters believed to be operating in the area exposed to the risk of spread of disease. 2 Where it is suspected that a feral pig is infected with disease a veterinary inspector must— a carry out investigations of any feral pigs shot or found dead in the area believed to be exposed to the risk of spread of disease; and b produce a report that assesses the disease situation in feral pigs. 3 Following the suspicion of disease in a feral pig the appropriate authority may declare a feral pig investigation zone and apply some or all of the Schedule 2 measures. Measures on confirmation of disease in feral pigs 21 1 Where the Chief Veterinary Officer concludes that African swine fever or classical swine fever is present in a feral pig, the appropriate authority must declare a feral pig control zone, and all the measures in Schedule 2 apply within that zone. 2 Where the Chief Veterinary Officer concludes that swine vesicular disease is present in a feral pig, the appropriate authority may declare a feral pig control zone, and may apply some or all of the Schedule 2 measures. 3 Meat from a feral pig hunted in any feral pig control zone must not be placed on the market by any person unless the carcase is tested negative for disease in accordance with the relevant Diagnostic Manual and a veterinary inspector considers there is no risk of the spread of disease. Emergency vaccination of feral pigs against classical swine fever 22 1 Where the Chief Veterinary Officer concludes that classical swine fever is present in a feral pig, and the epidemiological data available suggest that the disease threatens to spread, the appropriate authority may— a introduce emergency vaccination of feral pigs in a specified area; and b impose such conditions and restrictions in the specified area as the appropriate authority believes are necessary in order to enhance the effectiveness of the vaccination campaign. 2 An occupier must comply with any such conditions and restrictions. PART 6 Area controls following confirmation of disease in domestic pigs Protection and surveillance zones 23 1 This regulation applies where the existence of disease has been confirmed on premises. 2 Where the premises comprise— a a slaughterhouse, b a veterinary surgery where a pig has been brought for examination, or c any other place to which a pig has been brought temporarily and the appropriate authority does not consider that place to be the centre of infection, the appropriate authority may declare a protection zone and a surveillance zone around the premises. 3 In any other case the appropriate authority must declare a protection zone and a surveillance zone around the premises. 4 The zones must be centred on the part of the premises that the appropriate authority considers most appropriate for disease control and— a a protection zone must have a radius of at least 3 kilometres; b a surveillance zone around the outside of the protection zone must, subject to paragraph (5), have a radius of at least 10 kilometres. 5 The appropriate authority may reduce the size of a surveillance zone .... 6 The appropriate authority must ensure that within those zones, as far as is reasonably practicable— a premises that contain pigs are identified; and b veterinary inspectors visit such identified premises to— i inspect, and as necessary examine, the pigs on the premises; and ii collect and have tested such samples as the Chief Veterinary Officer considers necessary. 7 The measures in Part 1 of Schedule 3 apply in a protection zone. 8 The measures in Part 2 of Schedule 3 apply in a surveillance zone. 9 The measures in Schedule 4 apply in a protection and surveillance zone. 10 The appropriate authority may in a declaration apply any other measure that it deems to be necessary in order to reduce the spread of disease in respect of the whole or any part of any protection zone or surveillance zone. Declarations of zones 24 1 The declaration of a zone under these Regulations— a must be in writing; b must define the extent of the zone being declared; c must specify the disease to which it relates; and d may be amended or revoked by further declaration at any time. 2 A person who keeps a pig within the zone to which the declaration relates must comply with any applicable measure that is specified in the declaration. 3 Where a zone crosses a country border, the zone may be jointly declared by more than one appropriate authority. Removal of protection and surveillance zones 25 1 The appropriate authority must keep in place a surveillance zone for at least the following periods— a in the case of African swine fever, 40 days (but if an intensive testing programme has been carried out then 20 days), b in the case of classical swine fever, 20 days, or c in the case of swine vesicular disease, 28 days, after pigs from infected premises have been killed and until such cleansing and disinfection as the Chief Veterinary Officer considers sufficient has been carried out on those premises. 2 The appropriate authority must keep in place a protection zone for at least the following periods— a in the case of African swine fever, 45 days (but if an intensive testing programme has been carried out then 30 days), b in the case of classical swine fever, 30 days, or c in the case of swine vesicular disease, 28 days, after pigs from infected premises have been killed and until such cleansing and disinfection as the Chief Veterinary Officer considers sufficient has been carried out on those premises. 3 In this regulation “intensive testing programme” means testing for African swine fever in accordance with sections F and G of Chapter IV of the Diagnostic Manual . Premises straddling a protection or a surveillance zone 26 1 Premises which are partly inside a protection zone and partly inside a surveillance zone must be deemed to be wholly inside the protection zone. 2 Premises which are partly inside and partly outside the outer boundary of a surveillance zone must be deemed to be wholly inside that zone. Publicity of declared zones 27 1 The appropriate authority must publicise— a the extent of any zone declared under these Regulations (including any emergency vaccination zone or feral pig control zone); b the date of the commencement of the application of the zone; c the nature of the measures relating to that zone; d any amendment to the extent of a zone or measures applicable in the zone; and e the date from which the zone no longer applies. 2 The local authority may where practicable erect signs or posters indicating the existence of any zone declared under these Regulations. PART 7 Vaccination Prohibition on vaccination except in certain cases 28 1 A person must not vaccinate a domestic pig against disease other than in accordance with this Part or under the authority of a licence granted by a veterinary inspector. 2 A person must not vaccinate a feral pig against disease other than in accordance with regulation 22. Declaration of an emergency vaccination zone following confirmation of classical swine fever 29 1 This regulation applies where classical swine fever has been confirmed and the appropriate authority is concerned that it threatens to spread to other areas. 2 The appropriate authority may decide to declare an emergency vaccination zone after considering relevant criteria and risk factors, including— a the rate at which outbreaks are confirmed; b the density of pigs in the area; c the likelihood of further outbreaks in the area for at least the next two months; d the availability of resources to control disease. 3 Premises which are partly inside and partly outside the outer boundary of an emergency vaccination zone must be deemed to be wholly inside that zone. 4 If an emergency vaccination zone is declared, the appropriate authority must publish an emergency vaccination plan relating to the zone. 5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6 The declaration must include details of the responsibilities of the appropriate authority for organising the vaccination and subsequent monitoring to assess its effectiveness in preventing the spread of disease. 7 Other than in the situation in paragraph (8), an emergency vaccination zone must remain in place for a period of at least 6 months after the completion of the vaccination operations within the zone (“the vaccination period”). 7A The appropriate authority may use a marker vaccine during the vaccination period only in accordance with any requirements in the emergency vaccination plan. 8 The appropriate authority may reduce the vaccination period where all the vaccinated pigs within the declared zone have been slaughtered and cleansing and disinfection has been carried out at all infected premises. 9 As far as reasonably practicable the appropriate authority must notify every keeper within the zone regarding the emergency vaccination requirements. 10 A person must not move a pig from premises in an emergency vaccination zone unless a licence is granted by a veterinary inspector to move it direct to a designated slaughterhouse. 11 Before sending to a slaughterhouse a pig which is on premises in an emergency vaccination zone, the keeper of the pig must notify the operator of the slaughterhouse of the expected time of arrival of the pig. 12 The operator of a slaughterhouse must ensure— a that vaccinated pigs are kept and slaughtered separately from unvaccinated pigs; and b that the carcases of vaccinated pigs are kept separate from the carcases of unvaccinated pigs at the slaughterhouse. 13 During the vaccination period within an emergency vaccination zone, other than under a licence granted by a veterinary inspector, a person must not— a move any pig from any premises; b collect semen, embryos or ova from seropositive pigs; or c use semen, embryos or ova collected from pigs during the 30 days prior to vaccination. Pigs vaccinated against classical swine fever 30 1 This regulation applies to pigs vaccinated against classical swine fever. 2 A keeper who has had a pig vaccinated in an emergency vaccination zone or under the authority of a licence granted by a veterinary inspector must— a ensure that it is identified in accordance with instructions from a veterinary inspector; and b keep a record that it has been vaccinated. 3 The keeper must only have a vaccinated pig slaughtered at a designated slaughterhouse. 4 Following slaughter of a vaccinated pig the carcase must— a be disposed of in accordance with the Animal By-Products (Enforcement) (England) Regulations 2013 , the Animal By-Products (Enforcement) (Scotland) Regulations 2013 or the Animal By-Products (Enforcement) (Wales) Regulations 2014 ; or b have a stamp applied and be treated under the Products of Animal Origin (Disease Control) (England) Regulations 2008 , the Products of Animal Origin (Disease Control) (Scotland) Order 2008 or the Products of Animal Origin (Disease Control) (Wales) Regulations 2008 . 5 Where a marker vaccine has been used on a pig, the meat derived from that pig may be exempted by the appropriate authority from the requirement to be treated as restricted meat under the appropriate legislation listed in paragraph (4)(b). Compulsory vaccination and controls for pigs vaccinated against swine vesicular disease 31 1 This regulation applies where swine vesicular disease has been confirmed. 2 Following confirmation of swine vesicular disease, the appropriate authority may declare an emergency vaccination zone in which every keeper inside the zone must ensure the vaccination of their pigs after considering relevant criteria and risk factors, including— a the rate at which outbreaks are confirmed; b the density of pigs in the area; c the likelihood of further outbreaks in the area for at least the next two months; and d the availability of resources to control disease. 3 Premises which are partly inside and partly outside the outer boundary of an emergency vaccination zone must be deemed to be wholly inside that zone. 4 As far as reasonably practicable the appropriate authority must notify every keeper within the zone regarding the emergency vaccination requirements. 5 A person in possession or charge of a pig that has been vaccinated under this regulation must— a ensure that the pig is identified in accordance with instructions from a veterinary inspector; and b keep a record of the date when the pig was vaccinated. 6 A person must not move a pig from premises in an emergency vaccination zone unless a licence is granted by a veterinary inspector to move it direct to a designated slaughterhouse. 7 Before sending a vaccinated pig to a slaughterhouse the person responsible for its movement must notify the operator of the slaughterhouse of the expected time of arrival of the pig. 8 The operator of a slaughterhouse must ensure that— a vaccinated pigs are kept and slaughtered separately from unvaccinated pigs; and b carcases of vaccinated pigs are kept separate from carcases of unvaccinated pigs. 9 In the case of a pig outside an emergency vaccination zone— a a veterinary inspector may serve a notice on the keeper to require the vaccination of the pig on those premises in accordance with the conditions of that notice; and b a person must not move the vaccinated pig from the premises on which it was vaccinated except to a designated slaughterhouse under a licence granted by a veterinary inspector. PART 8 Inspection, enforcement and miscellaneous provisions Notices 32 1 Any notice served under these Regulations must be in writing and may be amended, suspended or revoked in writing at any time. 2 A notice may be served on or given to a person by— a personal delivery; b leaving it at the person’s proper address; or c sending it by post or by electronic means to the person’s proper address. 3 In the case of a body corporate, a notice may be served on or given to an officer of that body. 4 In the case of a partnership, a notice may be served on or given to a partner or a person having control or management of the partnership business. 5 In the case of an unincorporated association, a notice may be served on or given to an officer of the association. 6 For the purposes of this regulation and section 7 of the Interpretation Act 1978 (service of documents by post) to the extent that it applies, “proper address” means— a in the case of a body corporate or an officer of that body— i the registered or principal office of that body, or ii the email address of the officer; b in the case of a partnership or a partner or person having control or management of the partnership business— i the principal office of the partnership, or ii the email address of the partner or person having that control or management; c in the case of an unincorporated association or an officer of the association— i the office of the association, or ii the email address of the officer; d in any other case, a person’s last known address, which includes an email address. 7 For the purposes of paragraph (6), the principal office of a body corporate registered outside the United Kingdom or of a partnership or Scottish partnership established outside the United Kingdom is its principal office in the United Kingdom. 8 If the name or address of any occupier of premises on whom a notice is to be served or given under these Regulations cannot, after reasonable inquiry, be ascertained, the notice may be served by leaving it conspicuously affixed to a building or object on the premises. 9 A notice may require any action that an inspector reasonably believes is necessary for controlling the spread of disease. 10 A notice may specify that a person in receipt of it must immediately inform an inspector of its safe receipt. 11 A person must comply with the terms of any notice served, given or displayed under these Regulations. 12 In this regulation— “body corporate” includes a limited liability partnership; “director”, in relation to a body corporate whose affairs are managed by its members, means a member of the body corporate; “officer”, in relation to a body corporate, means any director, manager, secretary or other similar officer of the body corporate; “partnership” includes a Scottish partnership, but does not include a limited liability partnership.

Powers of inspectors 34 1 An inspector may, on giving reasonable notice, and on producing a duly authenticated authorisation if required, enter any premises, vehicle, vessel or trailer (except if used wholly or mainly as a private dwelling) at any reasonable hour for the purpose of executing or enforcing these Regulations. 2 The requirement to give notice does not apply where— a the requirement has been waived by the occupier; b reasonable efforts to identify the occupier have failed; c reasonable efforts to agree an appointment have failed; d an inspector has reasonable suspicion of a failure to comply with these Regulations; or e the inspector has reasonable suspicion that disease is likely to spread to other premises if an immediate check is not carried out on the pigs at the premises. 3 A justice of the peace, or in Scotland a stipendiary magistrate or a sheriff, may by signed warrant permit an inspector to enter any premises, vehicle, vessel or trailer, if necessary by reasonable force, if satisfied on sworn information in writing— a that there are reasonable grounds to enter those premises for the purpose of executing or enforcing these Regulations; and b that any of the conditions in paragraph (4) are met. 4 The conditions are— a entry to premises has been, or is likely to be, refused, and notice of the intention to apply for a warrant has been given to the occupier; b asking for admission to premises, or giving such a notice, would defeat the object of the entry; c entry is required urgently; or d the premises are unoccupied or the occupier is temporarily absent. 5 A warrant is valid for three months. 6 An inspector entering premises which are unoccupied or from which the occupier is temporarily absent must leave them as effectively secured against unauthorised entry as they were before entry. 7 An inspector entering any premises, vehicle, vessel or trailer may— a inspect any pig or thing there; b take samples; c seize and destroy any equipment or other thing that may spread disease; d detain or isolate any pig, equipment or other thing that may spread disease; e mark, tag or micro-chip for identification purposes any pig or thing; f carry out any inquiries, examinations and tests; g move any pig or vehicle, vessel or trailer carrying a pig or any other thing that may be contaminated with disease to a specified location; h undertake surveillance for vectors and implement insect control measures; i undertake surveillance for feral pigs; j capture and detain a feral pig; k in the case of classical swine fever, vaccinate a feral pig; l take samples from a feral pig, or authorise another under supervision to take such samples; m kill a feral pig (or authorise another person under the inspector’s supervision to kill a feral pig) if the Chief Veterinary Officer is satisfied that killing is necessary either for the control of disease or for surveillance purposes, and in particular if— i it is not reasonably practicable to take samples from the feral pig without killing it; ii it is not reasonably practicable to detain it pending the results of any testing or sampling; or iii feral pigs are suspected by the Chief Veterinary Officer of— aa spreading disease, bb being likely to spread disease, or cc being at risk of contracting disease; n have access to, inspect and copy any documents or records (in whatever form they are held) appertaining to these Regulations, and remove them to enable them to be copied; o inspect and check the operation of any computer and any associated apparatus or material that is or has been in use in connection with any documents or records; p require by notice served on the occupier— i any pig to be marked, tagged or micro-chipped for identification purposes; ii any pig or thing (including a vehicle or trailer) to be moved from premises to other specified premises; iii the undertaking of surveillance for the presence of vectors; iv the implementation of such insect control measures as the inspector considers practical and necessary; v a pig to be retained for use as a sentinel pig or a sentinel pig to be introduced onto those premises. 8 Where an inspector has entered any premises, vehicle, vessel or trailer and it is not reasonably practicable to determine whether any documents or records found on those premises appertain to these Regulations, the inspector may seize them to ascertain whether or not they are relevant. 9 The inspector may— a take any necessary equipment or vehicle on to the premises; b be accompanied by such other persons as the inspector considers necessary. 10 Any power or obligation to take a sample and test it includes a power to— a re-test any sample; and b take further samples from pigs, carcases or from the environment for testing. Notices following a contravention of movement controls 35 1 If a pig has been moved to any premises in contravention of any provision of these Regulations or any licence or notice served under these Regulations, an inspector may serve a notice on the occupier of those premises requiring— a that pig, or any other pig on the premises, to be detained on the premises; or b any pig on the premises to be moved to other premises specified in the notice. 2 If a pig has been moved to other premises under such a notice, an inspector may serve a notice on the occupier of those other premises imposing such movement restrictions relating to any pig on those premises as the inspector considers necessary to reduce the risk of spreading disease. Powers of inspectors in case of default 36 If any person fails to comply with a requirement in or under these Regulations, an inspector may take such steps as that inspector considers necessary, including seizure of things, to ensure the requirement is met at the expense of that person. Compensation for pigs killed and things seized 37 1 The appropriate authority must pay compensation in accordance with this regulation for— a any pig killed pursuant to regulations 7(5), 8(2) or 11; b any thing likely to spread disease that is seized under these Regulations and not returned other than where such things are seized by an inspector acting under regulation 36. 2 The amount of any compensation payable under paragraph (1)(a) is— a one half of the value of the pig immediately before it became affected where the pig was affected with classical swine fever or African swine fever; b the value of the pig immediately before it became affected where the pig was affected with swine vesicular disease (less any price received by the owner at slaughter); c where the pig is not affected with disease, the value of the pig immediately before it was killed. 3 The amount of any compensation payable under paragraph (1)(b) is the value of the thing seized at the time of its seizure; 4 The value of the pig or thing seized (as the case may be) is— a the amount determined in writing by the appropriate authority (“the appropriate authority’s valuation”); or b where the determination of the value has been referred to an appointed valuer under paragraph (5), the amount determined in writing by that valuer. 5 If, within 14 days after receiving the appropriate authority’s valuation, the owner of the pig killed or the thing seized (as the case may be) gives written notice to the appropriate authority disputing that valuation, with reasons, the appropriate authority must refer the determination of the value to an appointed valuer. 6 The appointed valuer must be a person— a appointed jointly by the owner and the appropriate authority for the purpose of conducting a valuation under this regulation; or b failing agreement on such appointment within 10 days of receipt of the notice given under paragraph (5), appointed by the appropriate authority for that purpose. 7 The determination of value by the appointed valuer is final and binding on the appropriate authority and the owner. 8 Fees charged or expenses incurred by an appointed valuer for work done under this regulation must be paid— a where the valuer’s determination is equal to or less than the appropriate authority’s valuation, by the owner; b otherwise, by the appropriate authority. 9 Action under this regulation to determine the value of any pig or other thing must not result in any delay in the killing of a pig for the purposes of controlling disease. Obstruction 38 A person must not— a intentionally obstruct or impede anyone acting in the execution or enforcement of these Regulations; b without reasonable cause, proof of which lies on the person charged, fail to give to any person acting in the execution or enforcement of these Regulations any assistance or information that is reasonably required; c provide to anyone acting in the execution or enforcement of these Regulations any information knowing it to be false or misleading or not believing it to be true; or d fail to produce a record when required to do so by any person acting in the execution or enforcement of these Regulations.
