(3) It is a ground for revocation that: (a) an importing country requirement relating to operations to prepare a consignment of prescribed livestock for export was not met; and (b) the failure to meet the requirement was the result of the negligence or dishonesty of the holder of the licence. Animal health or welfare (4) It is a ground for revocation that the holder of the licence failed to ensure the health or welfare of prescribed livestock.
