By its Directive of 25 July >'977 / the Council laid down the conditions for the
progressive liberalization of trade in pure-bred breeding animals of the bovine
species and fixed the date of entry into force of the said Directive at
1 January 1979 .
 . »       *
It also stipulated in Article 7 of the Directive that , pending the entry into
force of Community rules on the subject , the conditions applicable to imports
of the animals in question from non-member countries must not be more favourable
tjian those governing intra-Community trade .  However , the aforementioned
Directive calls for a number of implementing measures which are necessary for
the introduction of intra-Community trade arrangements ;    these measures are
being prepared and will require more time before completion .     Hence , it will not
be possible , from 1 January 1979 , to ensure that the conditions under which
imports from non-member countries take place are the same as those governing
intra-Community trade , since the latter have not yet been fully established .
The Directive should consequently be amended so that the aforesaid Article 7
enters into force progressively and together with the rules applicable to trade
between Member States .

                        amending Directive 77/ 504 / EEC
             on pure-bred breeding animals of the bovine species
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community , and
in particular Articles 43 and 100 thereof ,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament ,
Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social " Committee,
Whereas on 25 July 1977 the Council adopted Directive 77/504 / EEC ^,
by which it laid down the conditions for the progressive liberalization -
of intra-Community trade in this field ;
Whereas , as regards imports from non-member countries , pending the implementation
of Community rules on the subject the general principle has been retained, in
accordance with Article 7 of the aforesaid Directive, of not applying to     such
imports more favourable conditions than those governing intra-Community trade ;
Whereas Community standards for trade between Member States have not yet been
fully established, in particular as regards the criteria for entry in a
herd-book ;    whereas they will not be so until a number of implementing measures ,
particularly those provided for in Article 6 of the said Directive, have been
adopted ;    whereas it is therefore logical that provision be made for the aforesaid
Article 7 to be applied as and when intra-Community measures are introduced ,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE :
