You could also call this:

"One animal product officer can start something and another can finish it."

If an animal product officer starts something under the Animal Products Act 1999, another officer can take it over. You can think of it like passing a task to someone else. An animal product officer can also do things like change or cancel something that another officer has already done, such as a notice or permission, under this Act.
