COMMISSIONDECISION
of17February1993
laying down a model for the animal health conditions and veter-
inary certification for the importation of domestic ovine and

(93/198/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic
Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 72/426/EEC of 12 December 1972
on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of
bovine, ovine and caprine animals and swine, freshmeat or meat
products from third countries(1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC)
No 1601/92(2), and in particular Articles 8 and 11 thereof,
Whereas Council Decision 91/68/EEC(3) lays down animal health
conditions governing intra-Community trade in ovine and caprineanimals;
Whereas Council Directive 91/496/EEC(
4), as last amended by Direc-
tive 92/438/EEC(5), lays down the principles governing the
organization of veterinary checks on animals entering the Community
from third countries;
Whereas it appears that the animal health situation in the third coun-
tries on the list drawn up in Council Decision 79/542/EEC(6), as last
amended by Commission Decision 93/100/EEC(7), and including ovine
and caprine animals, is supervised by veterinary services which,although in some cases are in the process of reorganization, can never-theless offer satisfactory guarantees concerning diseases which might
be transmitted through the import of ovine and caprine animals;
Whereas the veterinary authorities of the third countries on the list
have undertaken to notify the Commission and the Member Stateswithin 24 hours of the occurrence of the following diseases: rinderpest,foot-and-mouthdisease, bluetongue, contagious caprine pleuropneu-monia, peste des petits ruminants, epizootic haemorrhagic disease,sheep pox, goat pox, Rift Valley fever or vesicular stomatitis, or of
the decision to vaccinate against any of these;
Whereas the veterinary authorities of the countries on the list have
undertaken not to permit the issue of certificates described in the
Annex to this Decision for imported animals unless the animals wereimported from a Member State or in accordance withveterinary condi-tions at least as strict as the relevant requirement of Council Directive72/462/EEC including any decision made pursuant thereto;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance
with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
