The Exotic Disease (Amendment etc) (EU Exit) regulations 2018

This instrument is being made using powers in the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 in order to address deficiencies and failures of retained direct EU legislation relating to exotic notifiable disease in livestock to ensure such legislation is fully operable and operates effectively after the United Kingdom leaves the European Union. A notifiable disease is one where owners and their veterinarians are obliged to notify the Department of suspicion of the relevant disease.
