animal health conditions governing the movement and import fromthird countries of equidae(
1), as last amended by Directive 92/36/
EEC(2), and in particular Article 15 point (a) and Article 16 thereof,
Whereas by Council Decision 79/542/EEC(3), as last amended by
CommissionDecision93/100/EEC(4), the list of third countries from
which the Member States authorize imports of equidae inparticularhas beenestablished;
Whereas it is also necessary to take into account the regionalization of
certain third countries appearing on the abovementioned list, which is
the subject of CommissionDecision92/160/EEC(
5), as amended by
Decision92/161/EEC(6);
Whereas the responsible national veterinary authorities have undertaken
to notify the Commission and the Member States, by telegram, telex or
telefax, within 24 hours of the confirmation of the occurrence of anyinfectious or contagious disease in equidae of lists A and B of theInternational Office of Epizootic Diseases or of the adoption of vacci-nation against any of them or, within an appropriate period, of anychanges in the national import rules concerning equidae;
Whereas the conditions to be established for imports of equidae for
breeding and production apply without prejudice to the requirements
of Countil Directive 86/469/EEC(
7) that no thyreostatic, estrogenic,
androgenic or gestagenic substances are used for fattening purposes inequidae;
Whereas Member States import equidae inaccordan ce with the provi-
sions of Council Directive 91/496/EEC(
8), as last amended by Decision
92/438/EEC(9), which laid down the principles governing the organiza-
tion of veterinary checks on animals entering the Community fromthird countries;
Whereas the existence of equivalent health situations between certain
third countries justifies establishing several health zones for the impor-tationof equidae;
Whereas the different categories of equidae have their own features and
their imports are authorized for different purposes; whereas, conse-quently specific health requirements must be established for imports
of registered equidae and equidae for breeding and production;
Whereas, given the existence of different health situations, it is there-
fore necessary to establish several health certificates for registered
equidae and for equidae for breeding and production;
Whereas the measures provided for inthis Decisionare inaccordan ce
with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,1993D0197 — EN — 29.06.1994 — 004.001 — 2
