Statute overview

About this statute

Imported animals from third countries that pass the stated controls and remain in Spain must be marked within 30 days and before movement, unless they go to a slaughterhouse in Spain and are slaughtered within that 30-day period. Replacement marks must be recorded in the register book. Infringements are punished under the rules of the relevant Autonomous Communities, or, if none apply, under the 1952 Epizootics Act and the 1955 Epizootics Regulation. This provision sets minimum conditions for identifying and registering pigs. This article defines key terms used in the decree, including animal, holding, holder, operator, competent authority, movements, exchanges, and accompanying documents. Article 3 is marked as repealed.
