THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Directive 2009/156/EC of 30 November 2009 on animal health conditions governing the movement and importation from third countries of equidae (1), and in particular Article 19(b) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Commission Decision 93/195/EEC of 2 February 1993 on animal health conditions and veterinary certification for the re-entry of registered horses for racing, competition and cultural events after temporary export (2) establishes several models of health certificates for the re-entry into the Union of registered horses temporarily exported to third countries for taking part in racing, competitions and cultural events.

(2)

The model of health certificate for re-entry into the European Union of registered horses for racing, competition and cultural events after temporary export for a period of less than 30 days is set out in Annex II to that Decision.

(3)

Commission Decision 2007/240/EC (3) laying down new veterinary certificates for importing live animals, semen, embryos, ova and products of animal origin into the Community pursuant to, inter alia, Decision 93/195/EEC establishes a standardised model of the health certificate.

(4)

It is necessary to adapt the model of health certificate in Annex II to Decision 93/195/EEC to the model provided for in Decision 2007/240/EC.

(5)

In addition, Annex II to Decision 93/195/EEC, as amended by Commission Decision 2010/266/EU of 30 April 2010 amending Decisions 92/260/EEC, 93/195/EEC, 93/197/EEC and 2004/211/EC as regards the importation of registered horses from certain parts of China and adapting certain third country denominations (4) requires certain corrections for legal clarity.

(6)

Decision 93/195/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.

(7)

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:
