THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty esta blishing the European Community, 
Having regard to Council Directive 90/539/EEC  of 15 October 1990 on animal health 
conditions governing intra-Community trade in, and imports from third countries of, poultry 
and hatching eggs1, and in particular Artic les 21(1), 22(3) and 24(2),  
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, and in particular the first subparagraph of 
Article 8(1), Article 9(2)(b) and Article 9(4) thereof,  
Whereas: (1) Commission Regulation (EC)  No 798/2008 of 8 August 2008
3 provides that the 
commodities covered by it are only to be  imported into and transit through the 
Community from the third countries, territories, zones or compartments listed in the table in Part 1 of Annex I thereto. It also lays down the ve terinary certification 
requirements for such commodities and models of the veterinary certificates to accompany them are set out in Part 2 of that Annex.  
(2) According to Article 22(1)(b) of Direct ive 90/539/EEC, commodities are not to be 
imported into the Community from a third country, territory, zone or compartment 
where an outbreak of avian influenza or Newcastle disease has been detected and which may therefore no longer be certified as being free from one of those diseases, 
unless the said third country applies measures to contro l them which are at least 
equivalent to those laid down in Counc il Directive 2005/94/EC of 20 December 2005 
on Community measures for the control of avian influenza and repealing Directive

EN 3   EN 92/40/EEC4 and in Council Directive 92/66/EEC5 of 14 July 1992 introducing 
Community measures for the control of Newcastle disease.  
(3) Part of the territory of Brazil and the terr itories of Canada, Chile , Croatia, Israel and 
the United States of America, as listed in  Part 1 of Annex I to  Regulation (EC) No 
798/2008, are currently authorised  for the importation of live poultry and hatching 
eggs of poultry and ratites to the Community, as well as for meat of poultry and ratites. 
(4) Those six third countries apply control meas ures for Newcastle disease equivalent to 
those implemented by Member States in  accordance with Directive 92/66/EEC, 
including placing areas in  their territory under official re strictions in the event of an 
outbreak of that disease. 
(5) As regards the importation of meat of pou ltry and ratites into the Community, the 
equivalency of disease control measures fo r Newcastle disease applied in parts of 
Brazil and also in Israel has already been recognised by Commission Decision 
2001/659/EC of 6 August 2001 amending Decision 94/984/EC as regards the 
importation of fresh poultry meat from Brazil6 and Commission Decision 97/593/EC 
of 29 July 1997 laying down animal health conditions and veterinary certificates for 
the importation of fresh poultry meat from Israel7. 
(6) Taking into account the equivalency of the c ontrol measures for Newcastle disease and 
the capacity of those third countries to effec tively deal with an outbreak of that disease 
as well as the findings of and the follow- up actions to inspection missions to these 
countries, it is appropriate to provide for specific certification requirements as regards 
freedom from that disease.  
(7) For the importation of live poultry and hatching eggs of poultry and ratites into the 
Community the entries in column 6 on the spec ific conditions in Part 1 of Annex I and 
the veterinary certificates se t out in Part 2 of  Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 
should be amended, so that in case of future  outbreaks of Newcastle disease in Brazil, 
Canada, Chile, Croatia, Israel and the United St ates of America, as listed in Part 1 of 
Annex I to that Regulation, importation of those commodities may continue from the 
parts of those third countries that have not  been placed under official restrictions due 
to Newcastle disease. 
(8) For the importation of poultry meat and ratite  meat into the Community the entries in 
column 6 on the specific conditi ons in Part 1 of Annex I and the veterinary certificates 
set out in Part 2 of Annex I to Regula tion (EC) No 798/2008 should be amended, so 
that in case of future outbreaks of Newcas tle disease in Canada, Chile, Croatia and the 
United States of America, as listed in Part  1 of Annex I to that Regulation, importation 
of those commodities may continue from the parts of those third countries that have not been placed under official restri ctions due to Newcastle disease. 
(9) Furthermore, the veterinary certificate for im ports of poultry meat set out in Part 2 of 
Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 should be amended in order to allow imports

(10) By Commission Regulation (EC) No 411/2009 of 18 May 2009 amending Regulation 
(EC) No 798/2008 laying down a list of thir d countries, terr itories, zones or 
compartments from which poultry and poultr y products may be imported into and 
transit through the Community and the veterinary certification requirements8 disease 
control measures applied by Canada for lo w pathogenic avian infl uenza have already 
been recognised as equivalent ; it is therefore appropriate fo r reasons of consistency to 
align the certificati on requirements of that Regulati on with the present Regulation. 
(11) Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 shoul d therefore be amended accordingly.  
(12) It is appropriate to provide for a transi tional period to permit Member States and 
industry to take the necessary measures to  comply with the applicable veterinary 
certification requirements provi ded for in this Regulation.
