COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 20 September 2011
on imports into the Union of semen of domestic animals of the bovine species
(notified under document C(2011) 6426)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2011/630/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
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), and in particular Article 8(1), the first subparagraph of Article 10(2), and Article 11(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Directive 88/407/EEC lays down the animal health conditions applicable to imports from third countries into the Union of semen of domestic animals of the bovine species. It provides that only semen that comes from a third country included on a list of third countries drawn up in accordance with that Directive and accompanied by an animal health certificate corresponding to a model also drawn up in accordance with that Directive, is to be imported into the Union. The animal health certificate is to certify that semen comes from semen collection and storage centres offering guarantees provided for in Article 9(1) of that Directive. |
(2) |
Commission Decision 2004/639/EC of 6 September 2004 laying down the importation conditions of semen of domestic animals of the bovine species (2) currently sets out the list of third countries from which Member States are to authorise imports of semen of domestic animals of the bovine species in Annex I thereto. |
(3) |
Under Article 8(2) of Directive 88/407/EEC, a Member State may authorise imports of semen of domestic animals of the bovine species only from those third countries which appear on a list to be drawn up in accordance with that Directive. In deciding whether a third country may appear on such a list, particular account is to be taken of various conditions, such as the state of health of the livestock. |
(4) |
Commission Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 of 12 March 2010 laying down lists of third countries, territories or parts thereof authorised for the introduction into the European Union of certain animals and fresh meat and the veterinary certification requirements (3) repealed and replaced Council Decision 79/542/EEC of 21 December 1976 drawing up a list of third countries or parts of third countries, and laying down animal and public health and veterinary certification conditions, for importation into the Community of certain live animals and their fresh meat (4). Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 sets out a list of third countries authorised for the introduction of ungulates into the Union in Annex I thereto. The conditions for the introduction of ungulates, laid down in that Regulation, are similar to the conditions for imports of semen of domestic animals of the bovine species laid down in Directive 88/407/EEC. |
(5) |
There is no scientific evidence suggesting that, with regard to major exotic contagious diseases, the risks arising from the health status of the donor bovine male could be mitigated by treatment of the semen. Accordingly, the list of third countries from which Member States are to authorise imports of semen should be based on the animal health status of the third countries from which imports of live domestic animals of the bovine species are authorised. The list set out in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 includes Chile, Iceland and Saint Pierre and Miquelon. Therefore, those third countries should also be included in the list set out in Annex I to Decision 2004/639/EC. |

The model animal health certificate in Part 1 of Annex II to Decision 2004/639/EC includes the animal health conditions for imports of... |
