THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic
Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/426/EEC of 26 June 1990 on
animal health conditionsgoverning the movement and import from
third countriesof equidae(1), aslas t amended by Directive 92/36/
EEC(2), and in particular Article 19 (ii) thereof,
Whereasby Council Decis ion 79/542/EEC(3), aslas t amended by
Commission Decision 93/100/EEC(4), the list of third countries from
which the Member Statesauthorize importsof equidae in particularhas been established;
Whereas it is also necessary to take into account the regionalization of
certain third countriesappearing on the abovementioned lis t, which is
the subject of Commission Decision 92/160/EEC(
5), asamended by
Decision 92/161/EEC(6);
Whereasthe national veterinary authoritieshave undertaken to notify
the Commission and the Member States, by telegram, telex or telefax,within 24 hoursof 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 agains t
any of them or, within an appropriate period, of any proposed changes
in the national import rulesconcerning equidae;
Whereasthe different categoriesof hors eshave their own featuresand
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 establish a single health certificate 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,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
