Under the procedure provided for in Article 18:  (a) specific requirements shall be established - in particular for the protection of the Community from certain exotic diseases or diseases transmissible to man - or guarantees equivalent to those conditions.

Experts from the Commission and the Member States shall carry out on-the-spot inspections to verify whether the guarantees given by the third country regarding the conditions of production and placing on the market can be considered equivalent to  those applied in the Community.  The experts from the Member States responsible for these inspections shall be appointed by the Commission, acting on proposals from the Member States.  These inspections shall be made on behalf of the Community, which shall bear the cost of any expenditure involved.  Pending organization of the inspections referred to in the first subparagraph, national rules applicable to inspection in third countries shall continue to apply, subject to notification, through the Standing Veterinary Committee, of any failure to  comply with the guarantees offered in accordance with paragraph 3 found during these inspections.  6. Pending compilation of the lists provided for in paragraphs 2 (a) and 3 (b), Member States are authorized to maintain the controls provided for in Article 11 (2) of Directive 90/675/EEC and the national certificate required by products imported under  existing national rules.   Article 11  The procedure provided for in Article 18 shall be used to stipulate specific animal health requirements for imports into the Community and the nature and content of accompanying documents for products referred to in Annex I intended for experimental  laboratories.

In Article 4 (1) of Directive 90/675/EEC, the following subparagraph is added:  'However, where products of animal origin arrive in containers or are wrapped or packaged under vacuum, the identity check may be limited to ensuring that the seals placed by the official veterinarian or the competent authority on the container or  package are intact and that the indications given thereon correspond to those included in the accompanying document or certificate.'  Article 13  1. Member States may, by issuing an appropriate licence, permit the importation from third countries of products of animal origin referred to in Annexes I and II in the form of trade samples.  2. The licence mentioned in paragraph 1 must accompany the consignment and contain full details of the specific conditions under which the consignment may be imported, including any derogations from the checks provided for by Directive 90/675/EEC.  3. Where the consignment enters one Member State for onward transmission to a second Member State, the first Member State shall ensure that the consignment is accompanied by the appropriate licence. Movement shall take place in accordance with the  provisions of Article 11 (2) of Directive 90/675/EEC.
