  For the purposes of paragraph 80(1)(b) of the Act, this Division prescribes conditions of the accreditation of a saleyard for EU export meat production operations.
Note 1: If the accreditation of the saleyard is renewed, these conditions also apply in relation to the renewed accreditation of the saleyard (see section 3‑27).

 (1) The status of each bovine animal that is admitted to an accredited saleyard and that is to be slaughtered to derive EU export meat, as stated in the original EU vendor declaration for the animal, must be confirmed using the National Livestock Identification System Database before the animal is offered for sale.
Note: The National Livestock Identification System Database could in 2021 be viewed on the National Livestock Identification System website (https://nlis.com.au).
 (2) If a bovine animal that is to be slaughtered to derive EU export meat is sold at an accredited saleyard, the manager of the saleyard must:
 (a) make a record of the sale; and
 (b) ensure that the National Livestock Identification System Database is updated, no later than the day the animal is transferred from the saleyard, to record the new owner of the animal.
Note: The manager of the accredited saleyard must retain each record made under paragraph (b) for at least 2 years (see section 11‑7).

3‑23  Bovine animals must not be treated with an HGP
  Bovine animals that are to be slaughtered to derive EU export meat and are held at an accredited saleyard must not be treated with an HGP.
