THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

animal health conditions governing the movement and import from
third countries of equidae(1), as last amended by Directive 92/36/
EEC(2), and in particular Article 19 (ii) thereof,
Whereas by Council Decision 79/542/EEC(3), as last amended by
Commission Decision 93/100/EEC(4), the list of third countries from
which the Member States authorize imports of equidae in particularhas been established;
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 Commission Decision 92/160/EEC(
5), as amended by
Decision 92/161/EEC(6);
Whereas the 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 any infectiousor contagious disease in equidae of lists A and B of the InternationalOffice of Epizootics (IOE) or of the adoption of vaccination against
any of them or, within an appropriate period, of any proposed changes
in the national import rules concerning equidae;
Whereas the different categories of horses have their own features and
their imports are authorized for different purposes; whereas, conse-quently, specific health requirements must be established for the re-entry of registered horses for racing, competition and cultural eventsafter temporary export;
Whereas, given the existence of equivalent health situations at race-
courses and on premises where competitions or cultural events are
held, and given the isolation from equidae of lower health status, itseems advisable to establisha single h ealthcertificate for re-entry ofregistered horses for racing, competition and cultural events aftertemporary export to third countries;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance
with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
