(3)

It is necessary to align the animal health certificates Models ‘RUW’ and ‘RUF’ in Annex II to Decision 79/542/EEC with the updated TSE rules.

| (4) | Chronic Wasting Disease is relevant only for certain animal species. It is therefore opportune to review the current restrictions on imports of ‘other ruminants’ from Canada in order to allow import of live ruminants with the exception of cervidae. |

Chronic Wasting Disease is relevant only for certain animal species. It is therefore opportune to review the current restrictions on imports of ‘other ruminants’ from Canada in order to allow import of live ruminants with the exception of cervidae.

| (5) | The Commission has been formally requested by the Chilenian authorities to list Chile for export of of fresh farmed ‘wild boar’ meat. Chile is authorised to export suidae, non-domestic suidae and meat of domestic porcine animals because of its satisfactory animal health situation assessed by several inspections of the Food and Veterinary Office, and therefore it is appropriate to list Chile for exportation of meat of farmed non-domestic suidae. |
