Commission Decision 2005/432/EC (4) lays down animal
and public health rules on imports into the Community
of consignments of certain meat products, including the
lists of third countries and parts of third countries from
which imports of such products are to be authorised.
That Decision also lays down the model public and
animal health certificates
and rules on treatments
required for those products.

(1) OJ L 62, 15.3.1993, p. 49. Directive as

last amended by
Commission Regulation (EC) No 445/2004 (OJ L 72, 11.3.2004,
p. 60).

(2) OJ L 18, 23.1.2003, p. 11.
(3) OJ L 146, 14.6.1979, p. 15. Decision as

last amended by

Commission Decision 2006/259/EC (OJ L 93, 31.3.2006, p. 65).

(4) OJ L 151, 14.6.2005, p. 3.

It is necessary to ensure that there is proper correlation
third
with the regionalisation, where applicable, of
countries, and in particular of Brazil, Namibia and
South Africa, for the purposes of importing fresh meat
into the Community, in order to ensure that any meat
used in meat products does not come from animals from
premises subject to restrictions on grounds of disease, to
clarify the use of offal in certain meat products and to
spell out clearly the requirements for meat of game birds
used in meat products.

Serbia and Montenegro are Republics with their own
customs territories, which together form a State Union.
They should therefore be entered separately on the list of
third countries and parts of third countries from which
imports of meat products are to be authorised.

Decision 2005/432/EC should therefore be amended
accordingly.

The measures provided for

ANNEX

‘ANNEX I

1. Meat products originating in the third countries or parts of third countries referred to in Article 4(a) shall contain meat
eligible for import into the Community as fresh meat and/or meat products derived from one or more of the species
or animals which have undergone a non-specific treatment as set out in Part 4 of Annex II.

2. Meat products originating in the third countries or parts of third countries referred to in Article 4(b) shall comply with

the following conditions set out in (a), (b) or (c).

(a)

the meat products must:

(i) contain meat and/or meat products derived from a single species or animal as set out under the relevant

column in Parts 2 and 3 of Annex II indicating the species or animal concerned; and

(ii) have undergone at least the specific treatment required for meat of that species or animal as set out in Part 4

of Annex II; or

(b) the meat products must:

(i) contain fresh, processed or partly processed meat of more than one species or animal as set out under the
relevant column of Parts 2 and 3 of Annex II which are mixed prior to undergoing their final treatment as set
out in Part 4 of Annex II; and

(ii) the final treatment referred to in (i) must be at least as severe as the most severe treatment set out in Part 4 of
Annex II for meat of the species or animals concerned as set out under the relevant column in Parts 2 and 3 of
Annex II; or

(c)

the final meat products must:

(i) be prepared by mixing previously treated meat of more than one species or animal; and

(ii) the previous treatment referred to in (i) which each meat component of the meat product has undergone must
have been at least as severe as the relevant treatment set out in Part 4 of Annex II for the species or animal
concerned as set out under the relevant column.

3. The treatments set out in Part 4 of Annex II shall constitute the minimum acceptable processing conditions for animal
health purposes for meat derived from the relevant species or animal originating in the third countries or parts of third
countries listed in Annex II. However, in cases where offal is not authorised owing to animal health restrictions, it may
be used in a meat product provided the relevant treatment referred to in Part 2 of Annex II is carried out. In addition,
an establishment may be authorised to produce meat products that have undergone treatments B, C or D as referred to
in Part 4 of Annex II, even where that establishment is located in a third country or part of a third country that is not
authorised for imports into the Community of fresh meat.

TREATMENTS REFERRED TO IN ANNEX I

Non-specific treatment:

product. However, the meat must have undergone a treatment such that its cut surface shows that it no longer has
the characteristics of fresh meat and the fresh meat used must also satisfy the animal health rules applicable to
exports of fresh meat into the Community.

Specific treatments listed in descending order of severity:

B = Treatment in a hermetically sealed container to an Fo value of three or more.

C = A minimum temperature of 80 °C which must be reached throughout the meat during the processing of the meat

product.

D = A minimum temperature of 70 °C which must be reached throughout the meat during the processing of meat
products, or for raw ham, a treatment consisting of natural fermentation and maturation of not less than nine
months and resulting in the following characteristics:

— Aw value of not more than 0,93,

— pH value of not more than 6,0.

E = In the case of “biltong”-type products, a treatment to achieve:

— Aw value of not more than 0,93,
