Proposal for a

COUNCIL DECISION

amending Decision 97/132/EC on the conclusion of the Agreement between
the European Community and New Zealand on sanitary measures
applicable to trade in live animals and animal products

(presented by the Commission)

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

On 17 December 1996,
the Council adopted Decision 97/132/EC approving the
Agreement between the Community and New Zealand on sanitary measures applicable
to trade in live animals and animal products. On the same day, Council Decision
97/131/EC concluded the Agreement by an Exchange of Letters,
in which it was
confirmed that the veterinary certification for animals and animal products applicable at
31 December 1996 would continue until the Agreement entered into force.

It is necessary to introduce simplified certification for trade between the Community and
New Zealand in the framework of the Agreement. New certificates covering the animals
and products for which trade conditions were agreed at the time of adoption of the
Agreement are now ready for presentation to the Standing Veterinary Committee. Once
these new certificates have been adopted by the Commission the Agreement can enter
the “standstill” on
into force. However, when the Agreement enters into force,
certification conditions referred to in the Exchange of Letters will end. This will cause
problems for both parties because, since the Agreement was concluded, equivalence has
been agreed in principle for several more products and it is necessary to amend Annex V
to take account of this and to provide a basis for simplified
of the Agreement
certification for these additional products. As Decision 97/132/EC does not provide for a
procedure to amend the Annexes to the Agreement, amendment would require a Council
procedure resulting in a lengthy delay before the Agreement could come into force.

The solution proposed is to amend Decision 97/132/EC to insert a Commission
procedure for amending the Annexes in future and to make necessary changes now to
certain Annexes, in particular Annex V.

The changes made to Annex V include, in addition to updating of legislation references,
amendment of work programme dates and relatively minor alterations to the glossary
and certain commodities, modifications in respect of area freedom from classical swine
fever,
fishery products, petfood, bone products, processed animal protein, blood
products, lards/fats and raw materials for feedingstuffs, pharmaceutical or technical use.

The amended Decision 97/132/EC, when adopted, will be followed by a proposal to the
Standing Veterinary Committee on the simplified certificates, so that the Agreement and
the new certificates come into effect simultaneously.

The problem with the implementation of the New Zealand Agreement came to light
during the discussions on the proposed veterinary Agreement with the USA, and the
Council inserted in the Decision approving the USA Agreement a provision to amend
the Annexes by a Commission procedure. The same procedure is being proposed in the
attached Decision.

Proposal for a

COUNCIL DECISION

amending Decision 97/132/EC on the conclusion of the Agreement between
the European Community and New Zealand on sanitary measures
applicable to trade in live animals and animal products

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular
Article 113 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas Council Decision 97/132/EC of 17 December 1996 on the conclusion of the
Agreement between the European Community and New Zealand on sanitary measures
applicable to trade in live animals and animal products1 has not yet entered into force
because certain technical amendments are necessary to the Annexes to the Agreement
before it can be applied in practice;

Whereas Decision 97/132/EC does not provide for a procedure for amendment of the
the Council has adopted Decision 98/258/EC of
Annexes; whereas, however,
16 March 1998 on the conclusion of
the Agreement between the European
Community and the United States of America on sanitary measures to protect public
health and animal health in trade in live animals and animal products2, which includes
such a procedure;

Whereas since the Agreement was concluded equivalence has been agreed in
principle for several more products and it is necessary to amend Annex V of the
Agreement to take account of this; whereas it is also necessary to amend certain other
Annexes to take account of changes in inspection fees and other administrative
matters;

Whereas in order to ensure the effective implementation of the Agreement with New
Zealand, and for reasons of consistency, the procedure for amendment of the Annexes
to the Agreement with the United States of America should be added to
Decision 97/132/EC;

Whereas the Community and the New Zealand competent authority have agreed, in
the form of an Exchange of Letters, the determination of the sanitary measures
applicable to trade in live animals and animal products; whereas that agreement
should be approved,
