               Directive 91/68/EEC defines the animal health conditions governing trade in the Union in ovine and caprine animals. It lays down the conditions whereby Member States or regions thereof may be recognised as being officially brucellosis-free.
            
         
               (2)

               (4)
            
            
               Following an evaluation of the documentation submitted by Cyprus, that Member State should be recognised as being officially free of brucellosis (B. melitensis).
            
         
               (5)
