Those veterinary certificates provide for guarantees with regard to certain animal diseases. However, they do not contain any information with regard to public health, such as information on testing for certain zoonoses and zoonotic agents.

| (3) | Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 November 2003 on the control of salmonella and other specified food-borne zoonotic agents (3) provides that the flocks of origin of poultry covered by that Regulation are to be tested for certain specified zoonoses and zoonotic agents prior to any dispatch from the food business of origin of live animals or hatching eggs. The date and the results of testing are to be included in the relevant veterinary certificates, provided for in Community legislation, from the dates indicated in Annex I to that Regulation. Those requirements apply to live breeding animals and hatching eggs from 1 January 2007 and are to apply to laying hens from 1 February 2008 and to broilers from 1 January 2009. |
