EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
            
            
               1.CONTEXT OF THE DELEGATED ACT
            
            
               Regulation (EU) 2016/1012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (‘Animal Breeding Regulation’)
                  1
                was published in the Official Journal on 29 June 2016 and came into force on 19 July 2016. It will be applicable as of 1 November 2018.
            
            
               This Regulation, once applicable, will replace 8 Council Directives (87/328/EEC
                  2
               , 88/661/EEC

               ) and a number of Commission Decisions adopted pursuant to those Directives, on breeding of cattle, pigs, sheep and goats, and equidae, and on imports of breeding animals. In addition it will repeal Council Directive 91/174/EEC
                  10
                (breeding of animals of other species) and Council Decision 96/463/EC
                  11
                designating a European Union reference centre.
            
            
               The Animal Breeding Regulation incorporates in its Articles and technical Annexes the provisions of the entire current acquis of Union law on animal breeding. However, in order to make the Animal Breeding Regulation operational, it requires to be supplemented by one Delegated and a number of Implementing Acts.
            
            
               The Animal Breeding Regulation foresees, in its Article 32(1), the empowerment for the Commission to adopt Delegated Act as regards the content and format of zootechnical certificates issued for purebred breeding animals of the equine species contained in a single lifetime identification document for equidae.
            
            
               This Delegated Act aims to ensure that zootechnical certificate for purebred breeding animals of the equine species is streamlined, as regards content and administrative procedure, with the single lifetime identification document referred to in Article 114 of Regulation (EU) 2016/429 of the European Parliament and of the Council ('Animal Health Law')
                  12
               . The Delegated Act will also take over relevant provisions from Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/262
                  13
                that are currently in force and will replace them.
            
            
               2.CONSULTATIONS PRIOR TO THE ADOPTION OF THE ACT
            
            
               The Commission has consulted with the experts from competent authorities of the Member States during the expert group meetings for this Delegated Act which took place on 15 November 2016, 9 January 2017, 7 February 2017 and 4 April 2017.
            
            
               The text of draft Delegated Act presented during the expert group meeting which took place on 15 November 2016 was supported in general by the Member State experts. The main issue that was raised and discussed related to the format of the individual identification number of purebred breeding animal of the equine species. It was agreed that the format and content of the individual identification number referred to in point 3 of Chapter I of Part 1 of Annex II to Animal Breeding Regulation cannot be decided until the detailed requirements for the means and methods of identification, including their application and use, have been adopted in accordance with Article 118(1)(a) of Animal Health Law. Nevertheless, form fields should be provided in the zootechnical certificate to enter the unique life number assigned to purebred breeding animals of the equine species in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2015/262.
            
            
               During the expert group meeting which took place on 9 January 2017 some Member State experts came back with the request to reinstate a reference to the Universal Equine Life Number (UELN) in the Delegated Act, as a method recognised by breeders ensuring traceability of purebred breeding animals and food safety. This request is addressed in recitals 11, 12 and 13 and in Article 3(2) of this Delegated Act. There was also a request for clarification of a status of Section V (certificate of origin) of the model identification document set out in Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2015/262 as of 1 November 2018, the date of application of Animal Breeding Regulation and this Delegated Act. This request is addressed in recital 14 and Article 3 of this Delegated Act. 
            
            
               In addition, based on the request of the Commission legal services, clear references between Animal Breeding Regulation and Animal Health Law as regards the individual identification number and single lifetime identification document were made. The individual identification number in accordance with point 3 of Chapter I of Part 1 of Annex II to Animal Breeding Regulation should be understood as 'unique code' referred to in Article 114(1)(a) of Animal Health Law, what is reflected in recitals 4, 5, 10 and 13 and in Article 2(b)(ii) of this Delegated Act. A single lifetime identification document by which equidae are to be identified in accordance with Article 114(1)(c) of Animal Health Law, where the zootechnical certificate for purebred breeding animals of the equine species is to be contained and the content and format of which is to be set out in this Delegated Act, is to be established in accordance with Article 118(2)(b) of Animal Health Law. This is reflected in recitals 5 and 6 and in Articles 1 and 2 of this Delegated Act.
            
            
               During the expert group meetings which took place on 7 February and 4 April 2017 only minor corrections of the text in the zootechnical certificate were made.
            
            
               The Delegated Act was also made available to the European Parliament and the Council. 
            
            
               There were no comments received from the Council.
            
            
               Mr M. Dantin, Member of the European Parliament and rapporteur on the Commission proposal for a Regulation on the zootechnical and genealogical conditions for trade in and imports into the Union of breeding animals and their germinal products, provided comments by letter of 13 December 2016 (ARES(2016)6985969) requesting to define the identification number referred to in point 3 of Chapter I of Part 1 of Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2016/1012 in the format of the UELN.
            
            
               The Commission considers, that since this identification number is unique and lifelong, it can only have a UELN compatible format and use, if such format and use were provided for in the delegated act adopted in accordance with Article 118 of Regulation (EU) 2016/429 for the unique code provided for in Article 114(1)(a) of that Regulation.
            
            
               In addition, the Delegated Acts has been consulted with stakeholders during the period between 24 January 2017 and 21 February 2017. 31 feedbacks were received in total, including opinion of 23 following stakeholders: Institut Français du Cheval et de l’Équitation, the World Horse Identification Registration Data Exchange Committee (WHIRDEC), Lusitano Breed Society GB, Equiventus, Forum Fokkerij PPV, Groupe des entreprises du secteur du cheval agricole FR, the World Arabian Horse Organization (WAHO), National Purebred Spanish Breeders' Association of Spain (ANCCE), the Breeders and Owners Association of Menorca Horses, the World Breeding Federation of Sports Horses (WBFSH), German Equestrian Federation/ Deutsche Reiterliche Vereinigung (FN), Associacion Naccional por Caballos Desportes/ the Spanish Sports Horse Association (ANCADES), the Norwegian Horse Centre (NEC), the British Association for the Purebred Spanish Horse Ltd., Unión Española de Ganaderos de Pura Raza Hispano-árabe (UEGHá), Horse Sport Ireland, Asociación Española de Criadores de Caballos Árabes (AECCA) – feedback provided twice, Weatherbys Ireland GSB, Swedish Horse Industry Foundation (HNS), Asociación de Criadores de Pura Sangre Inglés de España (ACPSIE), the European and Mediterranean Stud Book Liaison Committee (EMSBLC) and the Finnish Trotting and Breeding Association (Suomen Hippos), and 7 anonymous opinions.
            
            
               The following requests were submitted:
            
         
         
            
               1.Preservation and mandatory use of UELN.
            
            
               2.A single lifetime identification document to be kept as one indivisible document from the date of its issuing and for all purposes (identification, breeding and animal health).
            
            
               3.One competent authority issuing a single lifetime identification document as currently provided for in Regulation (EU) 2015/262.

               of 13.7.2017
            
            
               supplementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1012 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the content and format of zootechnical certificates issued for purebred breeding animals of the equine species contained in a single lifetime identification document for equidae 
            
            
               (Text with EEA relevance)
            
            
               THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
            
            
               Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
            
            
               Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2016/1012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2016 on zootechnical and genealogical conditions for the breeding, trade in and entry into the Union of purebred breeding animals, hybrid breeding pigs and the germinal products thereof and amending Regulation (EU) No 652/2014, Council Directives 89/608/EEC and 90/425/EEC and repealing certain acts in the area of animal breeding (‘Animal Breeding Regulation’)
                  14
               , and in particular Article 32(1) thereof,
            
            
               Whereas:
            
            
               (1)Regulation (EU) 2016/1012 lays down zootechnical and genealogical rules for trade in breeding animals, and for their entry into the Union. Regulation (EU) 2016/1012 applies from 1 November 2018.
            
            
               (2)Article 30 of Regulation (EU) 2016/1012 lays down rules for the issuing, content and format of zootechnical certificates accompanying breeding animals and their germinal products ('the zootechnical certificate'). It provides that where purebred breeding animals that have been entered in a breeding book maintained by a breed society are traded and where those purebred breeding animals are intended to be entered in another breeding book, those breeding animals are to be accompanied by a zootechnical certificate.
            
            
               (3)Article 30(6) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1012 provides that zootechnical certificates are to contain the information set out in the relevant Parts and Chapters of Annex V to that Regulation. Article 32(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1012 provides that, by way of derogation from Article 30(6) thereof, in the case of purebred breeding animals of the equine species, the information set out in Chapter I of Part 2 of Annex V thereto is to be contained in a single lifetime identification document for equidae and delegated acts are to be adopted concerning the content and format of such identification documents.
            
            
               (4)Chapter I of Part 2 of Annex V to Regulation (EU) 2016/1012 lays down rules concerning the information to be contained in the zootechnical certificate for purebred breeding animals. That information is to include the system of identification and the individual identification number given to the purebred breeding animal in accordance with Union animal health law on the identification and registration of the animals of the species concerned.
            
         
         
            
               (5)Regulation (EU) 2016/429 of the European Parliament and of the Council
                  15
                lays down traceability requirements for kept terrestrial animals and germinal products. Article 114 of that Regulation provides that operators keeping kept animals of the equine species are to ensure that those animals are individually identified by a unique code which is recorded in the computer database provided for in that Regulation and by a correctly completed single lifetime identification document. In order for the zootechnical certificate to be streamlined as far as possible with that single lifetime identification document as regards content and administrative procedure, Regulation (EU) 2016/1012 provided for delegated acts to be adopted in respect of the format and content of a single lifetime identification document for animals of the equine species.
            
            
               (6)Therefore, it is necessary to establish the content and the format of the zootechnical certificate that is to be contained in the single lifetime identification document for equidae, by which equidae are to be identified in accordance with Article 114(1)(c) of Regulation (EU) 2016/429, and which must accompany purebred breeding animals of the equine species at all times including when they are traded within the Union.
            
            
               (7)Article 31 of Regulation (EU) 2016/1012 lays down derogations from requirements concerning the issuing, content and format of zootechnical certificates for trade in breeding animals. It provides that where the results of performance testing or genetic evaluation are publicly available on a website, a reference to that website where those results can be accessed may be provided in the zootechnical certificate instead of indicating those results in the zootechnical certificate. That possibility should be reflected in the requirements for the zootechnical certificate for trade in purebred breeding animals of the equine species laid down in this Regulation.
            
            
               (8)Part 3 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2016/1012 sets out additional requirements for breed societies establishing or maintaining breeding books for purebred breeding animals of the equine species. In accordance with point 1 of Part 3 of that Annex purebred breeding animals of the equine species are only to be entered in a breeding book if they are identified by a covering certificate and, where required by the breeding programme, as ‘foal at foot’. By way of derogation from that rule, a Member State or, if it so decides, its competent authority may authorise a breed society to enter purebred breeding animals of the equine species in the breeding book maintained by that breed society where those animals are identified by any other appropriate method that provides at least the same degree of certainty as a covering certificate such as parentage control based on DNA analysis or analysis of their blood groups, provided that that authorisation is in accordance with the principles established by the breed society which maintains the breeding book of the origin of that breed.
            
            
               (9)Taking into account the requirements set out in point 1 of Part 3 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2016/1012, information on the covering certificate, on identification as ‘foal at foot’ and on results of parentage control should be reflected in the rules on the content of zootechnical certificates for purebred breeding animals of the equine species laid down in this Regulation.
            
            
               (10)In order to ensure the uniqueness and continuity of the identification of purebred breeding animals of the equine species and in accordance with the requirements set out in points 1(c) and 3 of Chapter I of Part 1 of Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2016/1012, the unique code as provided for in Article 114(1)(a) of Regulation (EU) 2016/429, and the name of such breeding animals should be included in the zootechnical certificate for trade as a part of its identification details.
            
            
               (11)Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/262
                  16
                requires an issuing body, including organizations or associations which have established or maintain stud-books for registered equidae, to assign to each equine animal a unique life number, which compiles in an alpha-numeric code information on the individual equine animal and the database and country where such information is first recorded. This unique life number must be compatible with the Universal Equine Life Number (UELN) system.
            
            
               (12)The UELN system has been agreed world-wide between the major horse-breeding and competition organisations. It has been developed on the initiative of the World Breeding Federation for Sport Horses (WBFSH), the International Stud-Book Committee (ISBC), the World Arabian Horse Organization (WAHO), the European Conference of Arabian Horse Organisations (ECAHO), the Conférence Internationale de l’Anglo-Arabe (CIAA), the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) and the Union Européenne du Trot (UET), and information on this system can be consulted on the UELN website
                  17
               . 
            
            
               (13)The format and content of the individual identification number referred to in point 3 of Chapter I of Part 1 of Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2016/1012 cannot be decided until delegated acts setting out the detailed requirements for the means and methods of identification, including their application and use, have been adopted in accordance with Article 118(1)(a) of Regulation (EU) 2016/429. However, blanks should be provided in the zootechnical certificate to enter the unique life number assigned to purebred breeding animals of the equine species in accordance with Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/262.
            
            
               (14)Until 21 April 2021, which is the date of application of Regulation (EU) 2016/429, Part I of the zootechnical certificate set out in the Annex to this Regulation is optional if a single lifetime identification document for equidae includes Section V of the model identification document set out in Part 1 of Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/262.
            
            
               (15)This Regulation should be applicable from 1 November 2018 in accordance with the date of application provided for in Regulation (EU) 2016/1012,
