I move amendment No. 5:
These all are in my name. I do not anticipate this will be a contentious issue. During an earlier debate it became apparent that placing the definition of "intensive unit" so far from the two sections to which it applies made the text less user friendly. It is best to move the definition of "intensive unit" from the general definitions section to sections 19 and 20 as it is used only in these two sections and to make a few technical adjustments to ensure comparability between the two sections.
In page 9, subsection (1), to delete lines 9 to 14.
This is purely a technical adjustment and there is no change to the substance of the definition. As there was confusion about the definition of "intensive unit", we included the definition in the sections dealing with issues such as poultry units.
