COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2019/1293
of 29 July 2019
amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 577/2013 as regards the list of territories and third countries in Annex II and the model of animal health certificate for dogs, cats and ferrets set out in Annex IV
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 576/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 June 2013 on the non-commercial movement of pet animals and repealing Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 (1), and in particular Articles 13(2) and 25(2) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 577/2013 (2) provides, amongst others, for the lists of territories and third countries referred to in Article 13 of Regulation (EU) No 576/2013 and for the animal health certificate required for the non-commercial movement into a Member State of dogs, cats and ferrets from territories and third countries. |
|
(2) |
Implementing Regulation (EU) No 577/2013 was incorporated into the European Economic Area (EEA) Agreement by the Decision of the EEA Joint Committee No 66/2016 (3) and is fully applicable to Norway in the same manner as to the EU Member States. |
|
(3) |
Norway is listed in Part 1 of Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 577/2013. Decision of the EEA Joint Committee No 66/2016 regulates the non-commercial movement into a Member State of dogs, cats and ferrets from Norway. Therefore, it is necessary to delete Norway from the list of territories and third countries set out in Part 1 of Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 577/2013. |
|
(4) |
It is also necessary to reflect the new name of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia in the list of territories and third countries set out in Part 2 of Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 577/2013. |
|
(5) |
Regulation (EU) No 576/2013 provides, amongst others, that dogs, cats and ferrets moved into a Member State from a territory or a third country for non-commercial purposes are to comply with any preventive health measures for diseases or infections other than rabies adopted pursuant to Article 19(1) thereof and be accompanied by an identification document in the format of an animal health certificate. Part 1 of Annex IV to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 577/2013 sets out the model for the animal health certificate. |
|
(6) |
In addition, following the mandatory review of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1152/2011 (4), the Commission adopted Delegated Regulation (EU) 2018/772 (5) which lays down, inter alia, the rules for the categorisation of Member States, or parts thereof, in view of their eligibility to apply preventive health measures for the control of Echinococcus multilocularis infection in dogs. Delegated Regulation (EU) 2018/772 repealed Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1152/2011 with effect from 1 July 2018. |
|
(7) |
The list of Member States complying with the rules for categorisation laid down in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2018/772 for the whole of their territory or parts thereof is set out in the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/878 (6). |
|
(8) |
It is therefore appropriate to replace the references to Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1152/2011 by references to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2018/772 and to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/878 in the model health certificate in Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 577/2013. |
|
(9) |
Annexes II and IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 577/2013 should therefore be amended accordingly. |
|
(10) |
To avoid any disruption of movements of dogs, cats and ferrets, the use of the animal health certificates issued in accordance with Part 1 of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 577/2013 as amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/561 (7) should be authorised until 28 February 2020. |
|
(11) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Implementing Regulation (EU) No 577/2013 is amended as follows:
|
(1) |

|
(3) |

Done at Brussels, 29 July 2019.
