Whereas, in order to draw upa list of third countries from which
Member States may authorize importation of semen, it is appropriateto take account of firstly the list of third countries from which Member
States authorize imports of bovine animals, secondly of third countries
traditionally exporting semen to the Community and finally of theknown animal health status of these countries;
Whereas, while respecting the limitations arising from the adoption of
the list, imports of semen shall continue to be subject to national provi-sions in respect of health and veterinary inspection in so far as they are
not already subject to any Community health protection measures;
Whereas further Community measures remain to be adopted in respect
of importation of semen; whereas the Commission is continuing its taskof preparing such measures with due speed; whereas in the meantime itis necessary to take the first stepby drawing upa list of third countriesfrom which Member States authorize importation of semen in order toavoid disruption of trade;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance
with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
