animal health requirements governing trade in and imports into theCommunity of animals, semen, ova and embryos not subjected to animal
health requirements laid down in specific Community rules referred to in
Annex A(I) to Directive 90/425/EEC (
1), as last amended by Commission
Decision 95/176/EC (2), and in particular Article 17(3)(a) thereof,
Whereas:(1) In accordance with Part II of Commission Decision 94/63/EC (
3) and
without prejudice to Commission Decision 92/160/EEC (4) Member
States authorise imports of semen of the equine species from third
countries included in Part 1 of the Annex to Council Decision79/542/EEC (

on-the-spot visits have to be carried out to ensure the uniform
application of the abovementioned Directive, and in particular its
Annexes.
(3) Therefore it is justified to draw up a provisional list of centres
approved for the collection of semen of equidae for imports into theEuropean Community, for which the competent authorities of the third
country concerned provided guarantees equivalent to those of Chapter
II of Directive 92/65/EEC.
(4) The provisional list should specify for each centre the ISO-code and

6),
imports of equine semen, and Decision 96/540/EC (7), imports of
equine ova and embryos, should be suspended for such imports fromIceland.
