6. Amendment to the Products of Animal Origin (Disease Control) (Scotland) Order 2008

6.1 Council Directive 92/119/EEC requires that pigs that are to be slaughtered in a slaughterhouse following the identification of antibodies to swine vesicular disease (but no virus) to be slaughtered separately from other pigs and that the meat from such pigs to be restricted to the national market. We propose to amend the Products of Animal Origin (Disease Control) (Scotland) Order 2008 to require the separation of such pigs at slaughter and to require the marking of their meat with a national mark.
