 (Text with EEA relevance) 
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, 
Having regard to Council Directive 2006/88/EC of 24 October 2006 on animal health 
requirements for aquaculture animals and products thereof, and on the prevention and control 
of certain diseases in aquatic animals1, and in particular Articles 14, 22, 23, 24 and 25 thereof, 
Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the 
animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of 
products of animal origin for human consumption2, 
Having regard to Council Directive 91/67/EEC of 28 January 1991 concerning the animal 
health conditions governing the placing on the market of aquaculture animals and products3, 
and in particular Articles 10(3),  12(2), 13(1), 13(2), 14, 16(1), 19(1), 19(3), 20(1), 20(3) and 
21(1) thereof, 
Whereas: 
(1) Council Directive 91/67/EEC concerning the animal health conditions governing 
the placing on the market of aquaculture animals and products is being replaced 
by Council Directive 2006/88/EC on animal health requirements for aquaculture 
animals and products thereof, and on the prevention and control of certain 
diseases in aquatic animals. 
(2) Implementing Council Directive 91/67/EEC Commission Decision 1999/567/EC 
of 27 July 1999 laying down the model of the certificate referred to in Article 
16(1) of Council Directive 91/67/EEC4 and Commission Decision 2003/390/EC

4 OJ L 216, 14.8.1999, p. 13. EN 3   EN of 23 May 2003 establishing special conditions for placing on the market of 
aquaculture animals species considered not susceptible to certain diseases and the 
products thereof5 lay down certain placing on the market requirements including 
certification requirements, while Commission Decision 2003/804/EC of 14 
November 2003 laying down the animal health conditions and certification 
requirements for import of mollusc, their eggs and gametes for further growth, 
fattening, relaying or human consumption,6 Commission Decision 2003/858/EC 
of 21 November 2003 laying down the animal health conditions and certification 
requirements for introduction of live fish, their eggs and gametes intended for 
farming, and live fish of aquaculture origin and products thereof intended for 
human consumption7 and Commission Decision 2006/656/EC of 20 September 
2006 laying down the animal health conditions and certification requirements for 
imports of fish for ornamental purpose8 lay down conditions on import of 
aquaculture animals. 
(3) The animal health requirements for placing on the market within and between 
Member States of aquaculture animals and products thereof, including 
certification requirements in certain cases, are laid down in Council Directive 
2006/88/EC. To ensure that these requirements are implemented in a uniform 
way throughout the Community, it is necessary to draw up harmonised model 
certificates and draw up detailed rules on which consignments should be 
accompanied by a certificate, which should replace the current certification 
requirements laid down under Council Directive 91/67/EC. 
(4) Council Directive 2006/88/EC imported aquaculture animals and products thereof 
shall comply with the requirements for such commodities laid down in that 
Directive and any other special import conditions established. It is necessary to 
lay down in detail the animal health conditions for import of aquaculture animals 
into the Community, including model certificates, which should replace the 
current import conditions laid down under Council Directive 91/67/EC. 
(5) Council Directive 2006/88/EC covers both fish, molluscs and crustaceans coming 
from or intended for aquaculture and harmonised certificates and import 
requirements should therefore be laid down for all these species.  
(6) Ornamental aquatic animals placed on the market within the Community and 
destined for facilities without any direct contact with natural waters (closed 
ornamental facilities) do not pose the same risk to other sectors of Community 
aquaculture or to wild stocks, and animal health certification should not be 
necessary. To provide Member States with information on movements between 
Member States of ornamental aquatic animals destined for closed facilities a 
notification of such movements in the Traces system are appropriate. On the 
other hand, a movement within the Community from a closed ornamental facility 
to an open facility may represent a high risk and should not be allowed without 
an approval from the competent authorities of the Member States.

8 OJ L 271, 30.09.2006, p. 71, as last amended by ???? EN 4   EN (7) Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council (EC) No 853/2004 of 
29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin9, and 
in particular its provisions on packaging and labelling, should be taken into 
account as regards the placing on the market and import of aquaculture animals 
and products thereof for human consumption. 
(8) Import into the Community of aquaculture animals should only be permitted from 
Third Countries which have animal health legislation and control system 
equivalent to that of the Community. A list for Third Countries and territories 
from which Member States are permitted to introduce aquaculture animals and 
products thereof for farming, relaying, put-and-take fisheries and ornamental 
purposes into the Community, should therefore be established. However, the 
import into the Community of certain ornamental fish, molluscs and crustaceans 
destined for closed ornamental facilities, should be permitted from countries 
being member of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE). 
(9) Countries and territories which are allowed to export to the Community 
aquaculture animals for human consumption based on public health 
considerations should also be allowed to export to the Community under the 
provisions of this Regulation. Such lists are established by Commission Decision 
2006/766/EC of 6 November 2006 establishing the lists of third countries and 
territories from which imports of bivalve molluscs, tunicates, marine gastropods 
and fishery products are permitted10 on the legal base of Regulation of the 
European parliament and of the Council (EC) No 854/2004 of 29 April 2004 
laying down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of 
animal origin intended for human consumption11 and, for a transitional period, by 
Commission Regulation (EC) No 2076/2005 of 5 December 2005 laying down 
transitional arrangements for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 
853/2004, (EC) No 854/2004 and (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament 
and of the Council and amending Regulations (EC) No 853/2004 and (EC) No 
854/200412.  
(10) Ornamental aquatic animals, including fish, molluscs and crustaceans, are to a 
large extent introduced into the Community from Third Countries and Territories. 
To protect the animal health status of ornamental facilities within the Community 
it is necessary to lay down certain animal health requirements for the import of 
such animals.  
(11) It is important to ensure that the animal health status of aquaculture animals 
imported into the Community is not jeopardized during transport to the 
Community. 
(12) The release of imported aquaculture animals into the wild of the Community 
would pose a particular high risk to the animal health status of the Community, 
since the control and eradication of diseases in natural waters are difficult. Such

under the condition that appropriate measures are taken to secure the animal 
health status at the place of release. 
(13) Aquaculture animals intended for transiting through the Community should 
comply with the same requirements as aquaculture animals destined for the 
Community. 
(14) Specific conditions for transit via the Community of consignments to and from 
Russia should be provided for owing to the geographical situation of Kaliningrad 
which affects only Latvia, Lithuania and Poland, taking Commission Decision 
2001/881/EC of 7 December 2001 drawing up a list of border inspection posts 
agreed for veterinary checks on animals and animal products from third countries 
and updating the detailed rules concerning the checks to be carried out by the 
experts of the Commission13 and 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 countries14 into account. 
(15) This Regulation should apply without prejudice to Council Regulation (EC) No 
708/2007 11 June 2007 concerning use of alien and locally absent species in 
aquaculture15 or other Community or national provisions on the conservation of 
species or introduction on non-native species. 
(16) Council Directive 96/93/EC of 17 December 1996 on the certification of animals 
and animal products16 which lays down the rules to be observed in issuing 
veterinary certificates, apply to certificates issued under this Regulation. 
(17) In the interest of clarity and coherence of Community legislation, Commission 
Decisions 1999/567/EC, 2003/390/EC, 2003/804/EC, 2003/858/EC and 
2006/656/EC should be repealed and replaced by this Regulation. 
(18) It is appropriate to provide for a transitional period to permit Member States and 
industry to take the necessary measures to comply with the new requirements laid 
down in this Regulation. 
(19) Bearing in mind the large trade flow of ornamental fish of species susceptible to 
EUS and the need to carry out further studies on the risk of EUS to the 
ornamental industry, including an re-assessment of the list of susceptible species, 
an immediate interruption of import of ornamental species susceptible to 
Epizootic ulcerative syndrome (EUS) intended only for closed ornamental 
facilities should be avoided. It is therefore appropriate to introduce a transitional 
period as regards the requirements related to this disease for these consignments. 
This transitional period will give third countries sufficient time to document 
disease freedom.
