concerning specific animal health conditions for importation of certain animals from Saint Pierre and Miquelon and amending Council Decision 79/542/EEC
(notified under document number C(2004) 1548)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2004/410/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine, ovine and caprine animals and swine, fresh meat or meat products from third countries (1), and in particular, Article 6(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/65/EEC of 13 July 1992 laying down animal health requirements, governing trade in and imports into the Community of animals, semen, ova and embryos not subject to animal health requirements laid down in specific Community rules referred to in Annex A(I) to Directive 90/425/EEC (2), and in particular Article 17 paragraph (3), 18(1) and 19 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Council Directive 92/65/EEC establishes that the import of ungulate animals of species other than those referred to in Directives 64/432/EEC, 90/426/EEC and 91/68/EEC shall be allowed only from those third countries included in a list drawn up in accordance with its Article 17. |
(2) |
Council Decision 79/542/EEC (3), draws up a list of third countries from which the Member States authorise imports of certain live animals, lays down the specific animal and public health and veterinary certification conditions for the import of these animals, and provides for a residency period in the exporting country of more than six months. |
(3) |
Following a Commission veterinary inspection in Saint Pierre and Miquelon, the animal health situation appears to be under the satisfactory control of the official veterinary services and, in particular, the availability of a quarantine station allows the safe import into Saint Pierre and Miquelon of certain animals. |
(4) |
The facilities of the quarantine station in Saint Pierre and Miquelon allow for the residence of certain kind of ungulate animals of species other than those referred to in Directives 64/432/EEC, 90/426/EECand 91/68/EEC. |
(5) |
Therefore it is appropriate to lay down the list of animal species and the specific animal health and certification conditions for imports of live animals in accordance with the animal health situation of Saint Pierre and Miquelon. |
(6) |
Council Decision 79/542/EEC should therefore be amended to allow imports of animals of species referred to in Directives 72/462/EEC and 92/65/EEC and in particular camelidae from Saint Pierre and Miquelon, and to lay down the necessary conditions. |
(7) |
On 1 May 2004 the 10 Acceding States are due to become full members of the European Community and Community rules will be applicable to them. Following their accession, these countries will than become part of the internal market and they should then be deleted from the list of third countries laid down in Commission Decision 79/542/EEC. |
(8) |
The restrictions for Bulgaria concerning the import into the Community of live bovine ovine and caprine animals in relation to bluetongue have been lifted by Commission Decision 2003/845/EC (4). |
(9) |
The list of third countries and regions laid down in Commission Decision 79/542/EEC should be amended accordingly. |
(10) |
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health. |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Annex I to Decision 79/542/EEC is amended as follows:
1. |
