official controls for Trichinella in certain meat. The models of veterinary certificates 
'POR', 'EQU', 'SUF', 'SUW' and 'EQW' se t out in Part 2 of Annex II to Decision

those certificates that consi gnments of meat covered by t hose certificates comply with 
the requirements set out in  Regulation (EC) No 2075/2005. 
(9) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of  the European Parliament and of the

encephalopathies (TSE) related rules for th e importation into the Community of live 
animals, embryos, ova and products of animal  origin linked to th e categorisation of 
countries according to their bovine spongiform encephalopathy risk. In the interests of 
clarity and consistency of Community legisl ation, the TSE related import requirements 
laid down in that Regulation should be included in the models of veterinary 
certificates for live bovine animals and fr esh bovine, ovine and caprine meat. The 
models 'BOV-X', and 'BOV-Y' set out in Part 2 of Annex I to  Decision 79/542/EEC, 
and the models 'BOV' and 'OVI' set out in Part 2 of Annex II to that Decision, should

Decision 2004/292/EC of 30 March 2004 on the introduction of the Traces system and 
amending Decision 92/486/EEC

Animo and Shift systems. Standa rdisation in the us e of health certificates is, moreover, 
essential for the effective computer proces sing of the certificates in the TRACES 
system.

2004/438/EC, 2004/595/EC, 2004 /639/EC and 2006/168/EC
12 provides that the 
various health certificates required in th e context of Community imports are to be 
presented on the basis of the harmonised m odel certificates annexed to that Decision. 
(14) Accordingly, the format of all the models of  veterinary certificates set out in Decision 
79/542/EEC should be amended to ensure  their compatibility with TRACES. 
(15) In order to ensure consistency between the models of veterinary certificates for bovine 
animals and other ruminants, it is necessary to  insert into the model 'RUM', set out in 
Part 2 of Annex I to Decision 79/542/EEC, a new paragraph and footnote concerning 
bluetongue. In addition, in the interests of clarity, two new f ootnote references 
concerning bluetongue should be inserted in models 'BOV-X' and 'OVI-X', also set out 
in Part 2 of that Annex.  
(16) Commission Decision 2006/854/EC of 26 July 2006, approving on behalf of the 
European Community amendments to Anne xes V and VIII to the Agreement between 
the European Community and New Zealand on sanitary measures applicable to trade 
in live animals and animal products13, recognised New Zealand as a country free of B. 
abortus and B. melitensis  in point 29 of Section V of  Annex V. That recognition 
should be taken into account in the entry fo r New Zealand in Part 1 of Annex I to 
Decision 79/542/EEC.  
(17) To avoid any disruption of trad e, the use of the certificates  issued in accordance with 
Decision 79/542/EEC, before the amendmen ts introduced by the present Decision, 
should be authorised for a period of three months.

(a) Veterinary certificates shall be produced by the 
exporting country, based on the models appearing 
in Part 2 of Annex I, according to the layout of the 
model that corresponds to the animals concerned. 
They shall contain, in the numbered order that 
appears in the model, the attestations that are

transported in the same railway wagon, lorry, 
aircraft or ship. 
(c) The original of each certificate shall consist of a 
single page, both sides, or, where more text is
