animal health rules governi ng the production, processing, di stribution and introduction of 
products of animal origin for human consumption
1, and in particular the introductory phrase 
of Article 8, the first subparagraph of point (1 ) and point (4) of Arti cle 8 and Article 9(4) 
thereof, 
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the 
Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin2, and in 
particular the second paragraph of Article 9 thereof,

Articles 11(1) and the second paragraph of Article 16 thereof, 
Whereas: (1) Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 lays down speci fic rules for food business operators on 
the hygiene of food of animal origin. Th at Regulation provides that food business

(2) In addition, Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 provides that food business operators 
importing products of animal origin from thir d countries are to ensure that importation 
takes place only, if the third country of dispatch appears on a list drawn up in 
accordance with Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 a nd the products sati sfy, inter alia, the

2 OJ L 139, 30.4.2004, p. 55. 
3 OJ L 139, 30.4.2004, p. 206. EN 3   EN (3) Commission Regulati on (EU) No 605/20104 lays down the public and animal health 
conditions and the certificati on requirements for the introdu ction of consignments of 
raw milk and dairy products into the Union. It  also lays down the list of third countries 
from which the introduction of such consi gnments into the Union is authorised. 
(4) Commission Regulation (EU) No 605/2010 establishes different import conditions 
depending on the animal health status of the exporting third count ry as regards foot-
and-mouth disease (FMD) and rinderpest. Third countries which are free from FMD 
without vaccination and rinderpest for the pe riod for at least 12 months prior to import 
are listed in column A of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 605/2010 and imports into 
the Union of raw milk and dairy products, derived from raw milk from those third 
countries, are authorised without havi ng undergone a specific treatments.  
(5) The Commission received several requests from some Member States and trade 
partners to establish animal health c onditions for the imports  of colostrum and 
colostrum-based products for human consumption into the Union. 
(6) Regulation (EU) No 605/2010 does not appl y to colostrum and colostrum-based 
products. However, colostrum represents the sa me animal health risks as raw milk for 
FMD. Colostrum can therefore be safely imported from countries which are already 
authorised for import of raw milk and list ed in listed in column A of Annex I to 
Regulation (EU) No 605/2010.  
(7) Several commercial products are made of pasteurised or sterilised colostrum. 
However, since the effects of pasteurisation and sterilisation have  not been validated 
for colostrum which has a high  cell content, pasteurised or sterilised colostrum and 
colostrum-based products should only be im ported from those third countries which 
are free from FMD without va ccination, listed in column A of Annex I to Regulation 
(EU) No 605/2010. 
(8) Articles 11, 12 and 13 of Council Directive 97/78/EC5 lay down the rules and 
conditions for the checks to be applied to consignment of products of animal origin 
imported into the Union but destined for a th ird country either by immediate transit or 
after storage in the Union. 
(9) In order to allow the introduc tion of colostrum and colost rum-based products into the 
Union, a new model health certificate for su ch commodities should be added in Part 2 
of Annex II to Regulation (E U) No 605/2010 and the model h ealth certificate for raw 
milk and dairy products for human consump tion intended for transit through or storage 
in the Union set out in Part 3 of Annex II to that Regulation should be amended in 
order to cover colostrum and colostrum-based products. 
(10) In order to include colostrum and colost rum-based products in the scope of the 
Common Veterinary Entry Document referr ed to in Article 2(1) of Commission 
Regulation (EC) No 136/20046, it is necessary to provide  in the model of health 
                                                 
4 Commission Regulation (EU) No 605/2010 of 2 July 2010 laying down animal and public health and 
veterinary certification conditions for the introductio n into the European Union of raw milk and dairy 
products intended for human consumption (OJ L 175, 10.7.2010, p. 1). 
5 Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the 
organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (OJ L 24, 
30.1.1998, p. 9). 
6 Commission Regulation (EC) No 136/2004 of 22 January 2004 laying down procedures for veterinary 
checks at Community border inspection posts on products imported from third countries (OJ L 21, 
28.1.2004, p. 11). EN 4   EN certificates covering such produc ts the appropriate Harmonise d System code listed in 
Chapter 4 of Annex I to Commission Decision 2007/275/EC7. 
(11) To avoid any disruption in trade, the use of animal health certificate for raw milk and 
dairy products for human consumption, intende d for transit through or storage in the 
Union, issued in accordance with Regulati on (EU) No 605/2010, should be authorised 
during a transitional period. 
(12) Regulation (EU) No 605/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly.
