Regulation 2(4) adds two new paragraphs to regulation 13 (restrictions in protection and surveillance zones) regarding requirements for surveillance zones. Regulation 2(5) substitutes a new Part 3 (vaccination). Regulation 17 identifies the restrictions relating to obtaining vaccines. Regulation 18 provides a general prohibition on vaccination. Regulation 19 sets out the circumstances and conditions in which compulsory and voluntary vaccination against bluetongue can take place. A regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no new impact on the private, voluntary or public sector is foreseen.
