2 OJ L 95, 7.4.2017, p. 1.  
3 Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/ 688 of 17.12.2019 supplementing Regulation (EU) 2016/429 of the European 
Parliament and of the Council, as regards animal health requirements for movements within the U nion of terrestrial animals and 
hatching eggs (OJ L 174, 3.6.2020, p. 140. ) 
4 Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/ 692 of 30.1.2020 supplementing Regulation (EU) 2016/429 of the European 
Parliament and of the Council as regards rules for entry into th e Union, and the movement and handling after entry of 
consignments of certain animals, germinal products and products of animal origin (OJ L 174, 3.6.2020, p. 379. ) 
5 Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/686  of 17.12.2019 supplementing Regulation (EU)  2016/429 of the European 
Parliament and of the Council as regards the approval of germinal product establishments and the traceability and animal heal th 
requirements for movements within the Union of germinal products of certain kept terrestrial animals  (OJ L 174, 3.6.2020, p. 1. ).  
EN 2  EN (2) For the uniform implementation of the rules, referred to in recital (1), Article 146(2) , 
156(2)(a) and Article 162(5) of the Animal Health Law  empower the Commission to 
adopt, by m eans of implementing acts, rules concerning model forms of animal health 
certificates for the movement between Member States, of certain kept terrestrial 
animals and hatching eggs, wild animals and germinal products of certain terrestrial 
animals. Article 238(3) of the Animal Health Law  empowers the Commission to 
adopt, by means of implementing acts, rules concerning the contents and the format of 
models of animal health certificates, declarations and other documents for the entry 
into the Union of animals , germinal products and Article 239(3) of the Animal Health 
Law  concerning the entry into the Union of animals and germinal products for which 
the Union is not the final destination. Therefore, the model official certificates laid 
down in this Regulation should contain the animal health attestations for movements 
between Member States and for entry into the Union of certain kept terrestrial animals 
and hatching eggs, of wild animals and of germinal products of certain terrestrial 
animals . 
(3) The Official Cont rols Regulation lays down rules for the performance of official 
controls and other official activities by the competent authorities of the Member States 
in order to verify compliance with Union legislation in the area of, among others, food 
safety at all s tages of production, processing and distribution process , processing and 
distribution process. That Regulation provides for certain rules on official certification 
when the rules referred to in its Article 1(2) require the issuance of official certificates . 
(4) In particular, point (a) of the first paragraph of Article 90 and Article 126(3) of the 
Official Controls Regulation  empower the Commission to adopt, by means of 
implementing acts, rules concerning model official certificates , for the issuance of 
such c ertificates , and on the format and type of these certificates . 
(5) The Official Controls Regulation and the Animal Health Law already provide a 
number of definitions that should apply for the purposes of this Regulation. In 
addition, this Regulation should als o have regard to the definitions laid down in 
Commission Delegated Regulation s (EU) 2020/ 688, (EU) 2020/ 692 and (EU) 
2020/ 686, respectively.  
(6) Model o fficial certificate s should contain details of consignment and specific animal 
and public health , as well as  animal welfare  information from the other relevant areas 
covered by the Official Controls Regulation , as necessary, certified by competent 
authorities. In case of movement between Member States, model official certificate s 
should contain a part designated  to record official controls  during movements and at 
the place of destinations and their results . 
(7) Specific m odel official certificates for the movement between Member States of 
certain categories of terrestrial animals and germinal products thereof set out  in this 
Regulation should be  drawn up on the basis of the standard model for official 
certificates for movement of animals and products in the Union set out in Chapter 1 of 
Annex I to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/… [IA FOOD  
SANTE/7086/2020 ]6. 
(8) Specific model official certificates for the entry into the Union of certain categories of 
terrestrial animals and germinal products thereof set out in this Regulation should be  
drawn up on the basis of the standard model for official certificates for the entry into 
                                                 
6 Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/ XXX  concerning model official certificates for certain categories of animals 
and goods, amending XXXX  as regards certain of these model certificates and repealing XXXX  (OJ L XXX, DD .MM.  20XX, p. 
NN).  
EN 3  EN the Union of animals, products of animal origin, composite products, germinal 
products, animal by -products, sprouts and seeds intended for the production of sprouts  
set out in Chapter 3 of Annex I to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 
2020/… [IA FOOD  SANTE/7086/2020 ]. 
(9) Consignments of animals and goods are to be accompanied by an official certificate 
issued either on paper or in electronic form. Therefore, it is appropriate to establish 
common requirements as regards issuance of official  certificates in both forms  in 
addition to the requirements laid down in Chapter VII of Title II of the Official 
Controls Regulation .  These common requirements should be drawn up on the basis of 
those set out in Articles 4 and 6  of Commission Implementin g Regulation (EU) 
2020/… [IA FOOD  SANTE/7086/2020 ]. 
(10) The Official Controls Regulation provides that the Information Management System 
for Official Controls (IMSOC) is to allow for the production, handling and 
transmission of  official certificates , including  in electronic form. According to 
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/17157, TRACES is the IMSOC 
component enabling the entire process of certificate production to be performed 
electronically, thus preventing possible fraudulent or deceptive pract ices in respect of 
the official certificates. To this end, this Regulation should lay down model official 
certificates that are compatible with TRACES.  
(11) Point (c) of the first paragraph of Article 90 of the Official Controls Regulation 
empowers the Commissi on to lay down by means of implementing acts rules 
concerning the procedures to be followed for the issuance of replacement certificates.  
These procedures should be drawn up on the basis of those set out in Article 7 of 
Commission Implementing Regulation ( EU) 2020/… [IA FOOD  SANTE/7086/2020 ]. 
To avoid misuse and abuse, it is important to define the cases where a replacement 
certificate may be issued and the requirements that need to be met by such certificates. 
In particular, these cases should be limited t o obvious administrative errors, such as 
transposed numbers in the container number or seal number, spelling errors in 
addresses or in product descriptions , or in cases where the initial certificate has been 
damaged or lost . These cases and requirements sh ould be drawn up on the basis of 
those set out in Article 6 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/… [IA 
FOOD  SANTE/7086/2020 ]. 
(12) Article 126(2)(c) of the Official Controls Regulation establishes the requirement that 
consignments of certain animals and goods entering the Union are to be accompanied 
by an official certificate, an official attestation or any other evidence that the 
consignment complies with the applicable rules  referred to in Article 126(1) of that 
Regulation.  
(13) Model certificates required for animal health and welfare and for public health reasons 
are currently laid down in various legal acts. For reasons of clarity and legal certainty , 
as well as for easy access  by the competent authorities,  the relevant  operators and the 
public , it is appropriate to consolidate these model certificates in one single legal act.  
(14) Commission Decision 2010/470/EU8 lays down model health certificates for trade 
within the Union in seme n, ova and embryos of animals of the equine, ovine and

ova and embryos of animals of the equine, ovine and caprine species and in ova and embryos of animals of the porcine  species  
(OJ L 228, 31.8.2010, p. 15) .  
EN 4  EN caprine species and in ova and embryos of animals of the porcine species and 
Commission Implementing Decision  (EU)  2019/2949 lays down the model animal 
health certificate for imports into the Union of dogs, cats and ferrets. As this  
Regulation lays down model official certificates replacing those laid down in those 
Decisions, t hose Decisions should therefore be repealed . 
(15) It is appropriate to introduce a transitional period of three months to take into account 
the shipment of consignments of animals and goods accompanied by certificates 
issued in accordance with models applicable before the date of application of this 
Regulation . 
(16) As the Animal Health Law applies with effect from 21 April 2021, this Regul ation 
should also apply from that date.
