COMMISSION DECISION

of 24 January 2003

(notified under document number C(2003) 326)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2003/56/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to 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 products (1), as
last amended by Decision 2002/957/EC (2), and in particular
Article 4 thereof,

Having regard to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12
December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems
upon the importation of bovine, ovine and caprine animals and
swine, fresh meat or meat products from third countries (3), as
last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1452/2001 (4),
and in particular Article 11(2) and Article 22(2) thereof, and
the corresponding provisions of the other Directives estab-
lishing sanitary conditions and models of certificates for the
importation of live animals and animal products from third
countries,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

Council Decision 97/132/EC provides for the adoption
of guarantees for the importation of fresh meat and meat
based products from New Zealand equivalent to those
laid down in Council Directive 72/462/EEC.

Annex V to the Agreement between the European
Community and New Zealand on sanitary measures
applicable to trade in live animals and animal products
(the Agreement) establishes the public health and animal
health measures for fresh meat and meat based products
and for certain other animal products from New Zealand
for which equivalence has been determined.

By its Decision 2002/957/EC amending Annexes V and
VII to the Agreement, the Council has determined the
equivalence of certification systems for fresh meat and
meat based products and for certain other animal
products from New Zealand. Such equivalence should be

(1) OJ L 57, 26.2.1997, p. 4.
(2) OJ L 333, 10.12.2002, p. 13.
(3) OJ L 302, 31.12.1972, p. 24.
(4) OJ L 198, 21.7.2001, p. 11.

(4)

(5)

(6)

(7)

(8)

implemented by laying down the models of the official
health certificates to allow the importation of
those
products on that basis.

Under Annex VII to the Agreement, the full equivalence
of measures is the equivalence of animal health and/or
public health measures as appropriate and of certifica-
tion systems, without prejudice to certification require-
ments not covered by the Agreement.

Annex VII to the Agreement provides for model health
attestations to be included in the official health certifi-
cate for live animals and animal products for which full
equivalence of measures has been agreed.

Full equivalence has been determined for certain animal
products with respect to animal health and public health
and for certification systems. However, full equivalence
for other animal products has been determined only for
either animal or for public health measures and for certi-
fication systems. Therefore,
it is necessary to maintain
several models of official health certificates. These official
health certificates should replace those laid down in
accordance with Community legislation for the importa-
tion of the relevant animal products from New Zealand.

For other animal products and for live animals full
equivalence has not been determined. For those animal
products and for live animals, the importation should be
allowed on the basis of official health certificates in
accordance with existing Community legislation or
prevailing national health conditions of
the Member
States pending adoption of harmonised import condi-
tions.

As provided for in Annex V to the Agreement, the addi-
tional guarantees for the importation of certain animal
products intended for certain Member States, should be
provided by New Zealand in the form of a declaration to
be included in the official health certificate. The addi-
tional declaration concerning transmissible spongiform
should also be provided by New
encephalopathies
Zealand for certain products of animal origin.

As provided for in Annex VII to the Agreement, the
certification for consignments of commodities for which
full equivalence has been agreed may be issued after
departure of the consignment from New Zealand under
certain conditions.

(10) As provided for in Annex VII to the Agreement the offi-
cial health certificate should be issued in English as well
as in one of the languages of the Member State of
arrival.

(11)

is also appropriate to establish for New Zealand

It
certain other additional certification requirements.

(12) Animal products imported into New Zealand and subse-
quently exported to the Community after storage or re-
processing in New Zealand,
should comply with
Community rules relating to those products. An official
health certificate should therefore be established for
those products.

(13)

(14)

Council Directive 93/119/EC of 22 December 1993 on
the protection of animals at the time of slaughter or
killing (1) provides for official health certificates for meat
to be supplemented by an attestation certifying that
certain animals referred to in that Directive have been
slaughtered under conditions which offer guarantees of
humane treatment at least equivalent to those provided
for in that Directive. This attestation should be included
in the corresponding models of the official health certifi-
cates.

Council Decision 97/131/CE of 17 December 1996 on
in the form of an
the conclusion of an Agreement
Exchange of Letters concerning the provisional applica-
tion of the Agreement between the European Commu-
nity and New Zealand on sanitary measures applicable
to trade in live animals and animal products (2) approved
in the form of an exchange of letters
an agreement
concerning the provisional application of
the Agree-
ment, whereby, until the entry into force of the Agree

ment, the certification conditions applicable as at 31
December 1996 should continue to apply. It is therefore
necessary to repeal Decision 80/805/EC of 25 July 1980
concerning animal health conditions and veterinary
certification for the importation of fresh meat from New
Zealand (3), and to ensure that the date of application of
this Decision corresponds with the date on which the
Agreement enters into force.

To facilitate a smooth changeover from the existing offi-
cial health certificates, provision should be made for a
transitional period.

The measures provided for in this Decision are in accor-
dance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on
the Food Chain and Animal Health,

(15)
