COMMISSION DECISION of 14 December 1993 establishing a list of semen collection centres approved for the export to the Community of semen of domestic animals of the bovine species from third countries and revoking Decisions 91/642/EEC, 91/643/EEC and 92/255/EEC (93/693/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 88/407/EEC of 14 June 1988 laying down the animal health requirements applicable to intra-Community trade in and imports of semen of domestic animals of the bovine species (1), as last amended by Directive 93/60/EEC (2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,

Whereas Commission Decision 91/642/EEC (3), as last amended by Decision 92/192/EEC (4), establishes a list of semen collection centres in Canada approved for the export to the Community of deep frozen semen of domestic animals of the bovine species;

Whereas Commission Decision 91/643/EEC (5), as last amended by Decision 93/434/EEC (6), establishes a list of semen collection centres in the United States of America approved for the export to the Community of deep frozen semen of domestic animals of the bovine species;

Whereas Commission Decision 92/255/EEC (7), as last amended by Decision 93/440/EEC (8), establishes a list of semen collection centres in certain third countries;

Whereas the competent veterinary services of Austria and New Zealand have forwarded a list, or amendment to the list of semen collection centres officially approved for export of bovine semen to the Community;

Whereas Community on-the-spot visits have been undertaken or will be undertaken to ensure the uniform application of Directive 88/407/EEC, particularly in relation to the veterinary supervision of semen production systems, the powers of the veterinary services and the supervision to which semen collection centres are subject; whereas, therefore, the Commission is satisfied that the centres approved meet the terms of Directive 88/407/EEC and can, in the circumstances, be included in a list of centres approved for the export of bovine semen to the Community;

Whereas, in order to clarify and simplify the Community legislation in this area, it is necessary to group together the different lists of semen collection centres approved in certain third countries, in Canada and in the United States of America and to repeal the Decisions in force;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The semen collection centres listed in the Annex are hereby approved for the export to the Community of semen of domestic animals of the bovine species.

Article 2

Decisions 91/642/EEC, 91/643/EEC and 92/255/EEC are hereby revoked.

Article 3

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
