grazing in mountain areas

(notified under document number C(2001) 2551)

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Article 2

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 of the Euro-
pean Parliament and of the Council of 17 July 2000 estab-
lishing a system for the identification and registration of bovine
animals and regarding the labelling of beef and beef products
and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 820/97 (1), and in
particular Article 7(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

(4)

(5)

(6)

is necessary to specify to which movements the

It
special rules will be applicable.

In view of the similarity of the situation concerned it is
justified to foresee the same rules for Member States or
part of Member States that want to apply these special
rules.

The special rules must be laid down in such a way that it
is possible to know the location of any bovine animal at
any time.

The special rules must result in a real simplification and
foresee only what is absolutely necessary to guarantee
the fully operational character of the national database.

The special
rules concern only movements within
Member States. Possible special rules for movements
between Member States will be laid down later if neces-
sary.

The measures provided for in this Decision are in
accordance with the opinion of the European Agricul-
tural Guidance and Guarantee Fund Committee,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

1.
Each pasture mentioned in Article 1 must be given a
specific registration code which must be registered in the
national database for bovine animals.

The person responsible for the pasture establishes a list of
2.
the bovine animals subject to the movement mentioned in
Article 1. This list must contain at least:
— the registration code of the pasture,

and for each bovine animal:
— the individual
identification number,
— the number of identification of the holding of origin,
— the date of arrival at pasture,
— the estimated date of departure from the pasture.

3.
The list mentioned in paragraph 2 is validated by the
veterinarian in charge of the control of movement of bovine
animals.

The information contained in the list mentioned in para-
4.
graph 2 is introduced in the national database for bovine
animals at the latest seven days after the date when the animals
are moved to the pasture.

If any events occur during the time when the animals are
5.
on the pasture such as births, deaths or other movements, the
event must be notified to the national database for bovine
animals in conformity with the general rules. The person
responsible for the pasture must inform the person responsible
for the holding of origin as soon as possible. The actual date of
departure, and the destination of each animal, must also be
notified in conformity with the general rules.

Article 3

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Article 1

Done at Brussels, 20 August 2001.

This Decision is applicable to the movements of bovine
animals within the Member States or part of Member States
mentioned in the Annex from different holdings to pastures
located in mountain areas for grazing during the period from 1
May to 15 October.
