This Order amends the Sheep Variable Premium (Protection of Payments) (No. 2) Order 1980 by substituting a new mark for application to any animal qualifying for a premium payment before certification for such payment, in place of the mark prescribed in paragraph (b) of the first paragraph of Schedule 1 thereto. The effect of this change is to allow for a smaller hole to be punched in the ear of a qualifying animal.
Section 5 is applied to Community arrangements by section 6(3) and (4) of the European Communities Act 1972 (c. 68) and is to be read with the Transfer of Functions (Wales) (No. 1) Order 1978 (S.I. 1978/272).
