6‑7 Holder of licence must have, and comply with, an approved ESCAS
(1) If the livestock export licence covers export operations in relation to feeder livestock or slaughter livestock: (a) operations to prepare the feeder livestock or slaughter livestock for export must not be carried out unless the holder of the licence holds an approved ESCAS that applies to the livestock; and (b) the holder must ensure that export operations in relation to the livestock are carried out in accordance with the ESCAS up until and including the point of slaughter of the livestock.
Note: The holder of a livestock export licence may need to have more than one approved ESCAS to cover different kinds of livestock or different places to which the livestock are intended to be exported.
(2) If the Secretary requires the holder of the livestock export licence to vary the approved ESCAS under section 6‑40, the holder must comply with the requirement.
Note 1: An ESCAS is not required in relation to livestock that are to be exported as breeder livestock.
Note 2: Part 9 deals with approval of a proposed ESCAS and other matters relating to an ESCAS.
