THE EUR OPEAN COMMISSION, 
Having regar d to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, 
Having regard to Council Directive 91/496/EEC of 15 July 1991 laying down the principles governing the orga nization 
of veter inar y checks on animals entering the Community from third countr ies and amending Directives 89/662/EEC, 
90/425/EEC and 90/675/EEC (1), and in particular Article 18(1) and (7) thereof, 
Whereas: 
(1)  Directive 91/496/EEC provides, inter alia, that if a disease or any other phenomenon liable to present a serious 
threat to animal or human health occurs or spreads in the territory of a third countr y, or if any other serious 
animal health reason so warrants, the Commission, acting on its own initiative or at the request of a Member 
State, is permitted to adopt measures without dela y, including special conditions in respect of animals coming 
from all or part of the third countr y concer ned. 
(2)  Commission Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 (2) lays down, inter alia, the veterinar y certification requirements for 
the introduction into the Union of certain consignments of live animals. It provides that consignments of ungu ­
lates are to be introduced into the Union only if they comply with certain requirements and they are accom ­
panied by the appropr iate veterinar y certificate, drawn up in accordance with the relevant model set out in Part 2 
of Annex I to that Regulation. 
(3)  The animal health requirements set out in the model veterinar y certificates provide for guarant ees regarding 
animal diseases which may endanger the Union animal health status. The fulfilment of such requirements is there ­
fore essential in order to prote ct the Union from outbreak s of exotic diseases. 
(4)  A notific ation by the United States to the World Org anization for Animal Health (OIE) (3) shows that Novel 
Swine Enteric Coronavir us Disease caused by emerging porcine alphacoronavir uses including porcine epidemic 
diar rhoea virus and a new Porcine deltacoronavi rus has emerge d in Nor th Amer ica. Canada informed the 
Commission about positive results of tests for the presence of the both the alpha and the deltacoronavir us 
carried out in Canadian pig holdings. 
(5)  Porcine epidemic diar rhoea caused by the emerging alphacoronav irus and the new porcine deltacoronavi rus may 
constitut e a risk for the animal health status of the Union. It affects pigs and the clinical disease is more evident 
in piglets in which it has caused high percentages of mor talities. 
(6)  Theref ore it is necessar y to review the animal health requirements for the entr y of consignments of porcine 
animals into the Union from the areas in which the disease caused by these viruses is present in order to provide 
the necessar y guarant ees at the holding of origin and avoid the introduction of porcine epidemic diar rhoea 
caused by those viruses in the Union. 
(7)  Due to the need to protect animal health in the Union and the serious threat posed by the introduction into the 
Union of live pigs for breeding and/or production the Commission should adopt provisional safeguard measures 
for consignments of those animals from affected third countr ies listed in Annex I to this Regulation. According ly, 
consignments of those animals should be accompanied by a health certificate in accordance with the model set 
out in Annex II to this Regulation which provides for specif ic guarant ees in regar d of porcine epidemic diar rhoea 
caused by the emerging alphacoronav irus and the new porcine deltacorona virus 11.7.2014 L 203/91 Official Jour nal of the European Union EN
