THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Directive 64/432/EEC of 26 June 1964 on animal health problems affecting intra-Community trade in                           bovine animals and swine(1), and in particular the second paragraph of Article 16 thereof,                        

Whereas:

(1)Directive 64/432/EEC lays down the animal health conditions governing intra-Union trade in bovine animals and swine. It provides,                              inter alia, that bovine animals and swine must be accompanied during transportation to destination by a health certificate                              conforming to Model 1 or 2 as appropriate, set out in Annex F thereto.

(2)In accordance with Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 599/2004(2), the various health certificates required in the context of intra-Union trade are to be presented on the basis of the harmonised                              model annexed to that Regulation.

(3)With a view to adaptations to be made to the content of the health certificates set out as Model 1 and 2 in Annex F to Directive                              64/432/EEC, it is necessary to also adapt the format of those model health certificates.

(4)The provisions of paragraphs 2(e) and 3 in Article 6 of Directive 64/432/EEC have expired on 31 December 2000 and should therefore                              no longer constitute a certification option in the model health certificate set out as Model 1 in Annex F to that Directive.

(5)Commission Regulation (EC) No 2075/2005(3) lays down rules for the determination of the status of holdings where domestic swine are kept.

(6)Commission Regulation (EU) No 216/2014(4) amending Regulation (EC) No 2075/2005 provides for requirements that must be met by food business operators to obtain official                              recognition of holdings applying controlled housing conditions and grants derogation from testing provisions at slaughter                              to such holdings.

(7)Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1114/2014(5) amending Regulation (EC) No 2075/2005 clarifies which conditions apply when domestic swine for breeding and production are                              moved from one to another holding via assembly centres.

(8)In order to enable Member States to apply the appropriate *Trichinella* testing regime at slaughter and not to jeopardize the status of the holding of destination of domestic swine for breeding                              and production the information on the official recognition of the holding of origin of animals being traded, as applying controlled                              housing conditions as provided for in Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 2075/2005, shall be included in the model health certificate                              for intra-Union trade in swine set out as Model 2 in Annex F to Directive 64/432/EEC.

(9)Annex F to Directive 64/432/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.

(10)The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals,                              Food and Feed,
