• (b) enables bovine animals born on or after 1st August 1996 which must be tested in accordance with point 2(1) or 2(2) of Part 1 of Chapter A of Annex III to the Amended Community TSE Regulation to be identified and ensures that they are sampled in accordance with this Schedule.

16

• (1) The RMOP shall describe how the slaughterhouse occupier will ensure that there are–

• (a) sufficient staff trained and competent in the taking, labelling, packaging and dispatch of brain stem samples;

• (b) hygienic facilities for sampling; and

• (c) sampling procedures that do not jeopardise the hygienic production of meat intended for human consumption.

• (2) It shall describe how health and safety guidelines designed to minimise the risk of exposure of staff to BSE during brain stem sampling and packaging will be complied with.

17

The RMOP shall describe the system linking the brain stem sample of each bovine animal which must be tested in accordance with point 2(1) or 2(2) of Part 1 of Chapter A of Annex III to the Amended Community TSE Regulation to the carcase of that animal and all parts of the body of that animal (including the blood and the hide).

18

• (b) test results are received, either by fax or by other electronic means; and

• (c) following a positive or a no test result everything required to be disposed of in accordance with point 6(4) or 6(5) of Part I of Chapter A of Annex III to the Community TSE Regulation or under this Schedule is identified and disposed of accordingly.
