art 8 Testing of bovine animals or steers for brucellosis
(1) The owner or person in charge of bovine animals or steers kept on any premises will comply with a request by an officer for facilities to examine, test or diagnose any bovine animal for brucellosis, and in particular, must arrange for the collection, penning and securing of any such animal. (2) If any person fails to comply with a reasonable request by an officer in accordance with paragraph (1) above, the National Assembly may, without prejudice to any proceedings for an offence arising out of such default, take or cause to be taken all such reasonable steps as may facilitate the examination, testing and diagnosis of bovine animals for brucellosis, and the expenses reasonably incurred by the National Assembly will be recoverable from the person in default. (3) Where the owner or person in charge of bovine animals or steers kept on any premises arranges or permits any diagnostic test for brucellosis to be carried out on those animals, otherwise than on behalf of the National Assembly, that person must notify the National Assembly of— (a) any positive test result within 24 hours; and (b) any negative test result within one month. (4) The owner or person in charge of bovine animals or steers kept on any premises must not do or cause to be done, anything which is likely to affect the result of a diagnostic test for brucellosis carried out on behalf of the National Assembly.
