RAADETS DIREKTIV af 26. juni 1990 om zootekniske og genealogiske betingelser for samhandelen inden for Faellesskabet med enhovede dyr (90/427/EOEF)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

RAADET FOR DE EUROPAEISKE

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,

FAELLESSKABER HAR -

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),

under henvisning til Traktaten om Oprettelse af Det Europaeiske OEkonomiske Faellesskab, saerlig artikel 43,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),

under henvisning til forslag fra Kommissionen (1),

Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),

under henvisning til udtalelse fra Europa-Parlamentet (2),

Whereas equidae, being live animals, are included in the list of products in Annex II to the Treaty;

under henvisning til udtalelse fra Det OEkonomiske og Sociale Udvalg (3), og

Whereas in order to ensure the rational development of equidae production, thereby increasing productivity in that sector, rules governing the marketing of equidae in intra-Community trade must be laid down at Community level;

ud fra foelgende betragtninger:

Whereas the breeding and rearing of equidae and in particular of horses is generally included in the farming sector; whereas it constitutes a source of income for part of the farming population and should therefore be encouraged;

Enhovede dyr er som levende dyr medtaget paa listen over de varer, der er anfoert i bilag II til Traktaten;

Whereas satisfactory results in that respect depend largely on the use of equidae registered in stud books maintained by officially approved organizations or associations;

med henblik paa at sikre en rationalisering af produktionen af enhovede dyr og dermed foroege produktiviteten inden for denne sektor boer der paa EF-plan fastsaettes bestemmelser for afsaetningen af disse dyr i samhandelen inden for Faellesskabet;

Whereas disparities exist as regards entry in studbooks; whereas those disparities constitute a barrier to trade within the Community; whereas complete liberalization of trade calls for further harmonization, particularly regarding entry in studbooks;

opdraetning af enhovede dyr, isaer heste, indgaar generelt i landbrugsaktiviteterne; den udgoer en indkomstkilde for en del af landbrugsbefolkningen, og den boer derfor fremmes;

Whereas intra-Community trade in registered equidae should be progressively liberalized; whereas complete liberalization of trade requires further additional harmonization, in particular as regards approval for the purpose of off-farm mating and the use of semen and ova in accordance with the characteristics of each studbook;

det er i vid udstraekning en forudsaetning for tilfredsstillende resultater inden for dette omraade, at der anvendes dyr, der er indfoert i stamboeger, som foeres af officielt godkendte sammenslutninger eller foreninger;

der bestaar forskelle med hensyn til indfoerelse i stamboegerne; disse forskelle udgoer en hindring for samhandelen inden for Faellesskabet; en fuldstaendig liberalisering af samhandelen forudsaetter en yderligere harmonisering, isaer hvad angaar indfoerelsen i stamboegerne;

Whereas it is necessary to draw up, in accordance with a Community procedure, a harmonized model zootechnical origin and identification certificate;

samhandelen inden for Faellesskabet med registrerede enhovede dyr boer gradvis liberaliseres; den fuldstaendige liberalisering af samhandelen forudsaetter en yderligere supplerende harmonisering, isaer med hensyn til adgang til anvendelse af offentlig bedaekning og til anvendelsen af saed og aeg i overensstemmelse med de enkelte stamboegers saerlige kendetegn;

Whereas the name of an animal is an essential factor in identifying equidae; whereas it is often impossible to trace an animal's descent and monitor its progress if its name is changed at a new owner's request; whereas the rules regarding the naming of equidae should be harmonized, in particular in order to prevent unfair practices;

Whereas provisions should be introduced preventing equidae from third countries from being imported on terms which

der boer fastlaegges en harmoniseret model for zootekniske oprindelses- og identifikationscertifikater efter en faellesskabsprocedure;

are less stringent than those applicable within the Community;

navnet paa et dyr er et vaesentligt identifikationselement; aendring af et navn paa den nye ejers anmodning goer det ofte umuligt at spore dyrets afstamning og hvad der videre er sket med det; navnlig for at forhindre illoyal praksis boer der ske en harmonisering af bestemmelserne vedroerende navnene paa enhovede dyr;

Whereas it is advisable to adopt implementing measures regarding certain technical aspects; whereas, for the purposes of the measures envisaged, provision should be made for close and effective cooperation between Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on Zootechnics,

indfoersel af enhovede dyr fra tredjelande boer ikke kunne foretages paa mindre strenge betingelser end dem, der gaelder i Faellesskabet;

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

der boer traeffes gennemfoerelsesforanstaltninger inden for visse omraader af teknisk art; med henblik paa gennemfoerelsen af de paataenkte foranstaltninger boer der fastsaettes en procedure, der sikrer et snaevert og effektivt samarbejde mellem medlemsstaterne og Kommissionen i Den Staaende Zootekniske Komité -
