erroneous references to a Member State, instead of to a third countr y or territory , in points II.4.8.3 and II.4.9.3, of 
that model should be corrected.
(20) Article 23 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/403 provid es that the animal health certificates to be used for the 
entr y into the Union of certain types of germinal products of equine animals are to correspond to one of the models
