(notified under document C(2009) 6522)

(2009/623/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 94/28/EC of 23 June 1994 laying down the principles relating to the zootechnical and genealogical conditions applicable to imports from third countries of animals, their semen, ova and embryos, and amending Directive 77/504/EEC on pure-bred breeding animals of the bovine species (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Commission Decision 2006/139/EC of 7 February 2006 implementing Council Directive 94/28/EC as regards a list of authorities in third countries approved for the keeping of a herdbook or register of certain animals (2) provides that Member States are to authorise the importation of breeding animals of certain species, their semen, ova and embryos as ‘pure-bred’ or ‘hybrid’ only if they are entered or registered in a herdbook or register kept by an authority approved for that purpose. The approved authorities are listed in the Annex to that Decision. |
|
(2) |
In accordance with Article 18 of Council Directive 2008/73/EC of 15 July 2008 simplifying procedures of listing and publishing information in the veterinary and zootechnical fields and amending Directives 64/432/EEC, 77/504/EEC, 88/407/EEC, 88/661/EEC, 89/361/EEC, 89/556/EEC, 90/426/EEC, 90/427/EEC, 90/428/EEC, 90/429/EEC, 90/539/EEC, 91/68/EEC, 91/496/EEC, 92/35/EEC, 92/65/EEC, 92/66/EEC, 92/119/EEC, 94/28/EC, 2000/75/EC, Decision 2000/258/EC and Directives 2001/89/EC, 2002/60/EC and 2005/94/EC (3), the procedure for listing of bodies in respect of the species and/or races concerned that the competent authority of the third country has approved for the purpose of Directive 94/28/EC will be replaced by an Internet-based information coming into effect on 1 January 2010. For the sake of clarity and legal certainty it is therefore necessary to introduce an end date for the validity of Decision 2006/139/EC. |
|
(3) |
The entry for Bulgaria in the Annex to Decision 2006/139/EC became obsolete with the accession of that Member State and should therefore be deleted for the sake of legal clarity. |
|
(4) |
In addition, Canada has requested to update several entries for that country in the Annex to Decision 2006/139/EC. |
|
(5) |
Canada has provided guarantees regarding compliance with the relevant requirements laid down in Community legislation and, in particular those laid down in Directive 94/28/EC. |
|
(6) |
Decision 2006/139/EC should therefore be amended accordingly. |
|
(7) |
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Zootechnics, |
