LB,
First FCI - There is no form prescribed by law - FCI is run by the Food standards Agency, so a model form is held there. Defra won't put the form or a link on their site in case it changes, so no joined up gov there !
Link to suggested form
http://www.food.gov.uk/foodindustry/guidancenotes/meatregsguid/fcipigslaughterOn e-aml (England and wales only! - scotland has a different system coming)
The following assumes you have registered with e-aml and have a password - anyone reading this who hasn't should do so now - you'll need to have done this when it becomes compulsory in April, and better to do it now whilst it is quiet than wait until April and find the system clogged.
First it is you the "off-holding" (Holding from which the pigs are being moved) that must do the move. IF you have a PC, then you just have to have done the notification before the pigs move. This can be one minute before as long as your PC and internet are working (and your printer or you have a pro-forma printed). Obviously if your PC is not on your holding then you will need to have done this before you leave. You can do it days, weeks or months ahead.
If the person receiving has not registered, then if you have time, suggest to them that they do so, as this just makes it easier. However it is not a big deal if they haven't. You will however need their name, their postcode and their holding no. as minimum information. You can then register their holding as part of the movement process.
Log onto the system, and go into "set up a new movement" do a farm to farm, and set up their destination if need be. Fill in the data - the Q's with * are the compulsory ones for compliance with PRIMO. For complex reasons the rest may or may not be required - I am trying to get BREX to give some guidance here as I object in principal to the collection of data that is not required, and which defra say will be used for fishing expeditions - but i suggest that you complete all of them for the moment.
Print the form. When you do the move, correct or add the haulier data and give the form to the haulier.
If the destination site (called the "on-holding") is on PC and internet, then give them the reference no. - it is probably just as easy to print a second copy of the form if they are not also the haulier, and I will be asking for these when we are receiving, as I worked in IT for a while and have little faith in systems not losing data. Similarly I will be keeping copies of the forms as the off-holding when we sell stuff.
If the on-holding is not on PC and internet, then you must give them a copy of the form. In all cases the on-holding must confirm the move within 3 days, by PC, telephone, fax or post.
Once the pigs have moved, you are asked to confirm the move by PC, although you can do this by phone, post or even by SMS if you have registered your mobile. you should do this within 24 hours of the move. this part has no legal enforcement, so you don't have to do this, but at the moment you screw the system if you don't, so suggest you do until they get the system changed.
Basically that's it - well most of it!
Come back if that's not clear.
