 ---pagebreak---                     EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
The technical provisions relating to intra-Community trade in bovine animals
concerning brucellosis are governed by Council Directive 64/432/EEC. In this
Directive faculative derogations are allowed to Member States to trade bovine
animals under 30 months of age intended for meat production and bovines under
42 days of age or had been castrated before the age of four months and also for
bovine animals intended for immediate slaughter^ coming from other than
brucellosis free or officially free herds. These possibilities run out at the
end of this year.
It is proposed to extend these possibilities for a further period of two years
(end of 1985) to coincide with the Community financially aided programmes
for the accelerated eradication of brucellosis., tuberculosis and leukosis
which also terminate at the end of 1985.

                        COUNCIL DIRECTIVE
     prolonging the validity of Article 7(1), points C and E
                     of Directive 64/432/EEC
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 64/432/EEC of 26 June 1964 on animal health
problems affecting intra-Community trade in bovine animals and swine , as last
                                  2
amended by Directive          /EEC , and in particular Article 7(1), points C
and E, thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Directive 64/432/EEC laid down, in respect of intra-Community trade in
bovine animals, health guarantees relating to brucellosis; whereas, however,
Article 7(1), point C, thereof allows Member States to grant derogations until
31 December 1983 concerning trade in bovine animals which are intended for meat
production and which are under 30 months of age; whereas, however, point E of
Article 7(1) of that Directive also allows Member States to grant derogations
concerning trade in bovine animals which are intended for meat production and
which are under 42 days of age or have been castrated before the age of four
months; whereas these authorizations may also be applied in respect of bovine
animals intended for slaughter;
Whereas it is appropriate to facilitate trade in bovine animals whilst at the
same time taking account of the current brucellosis situation in certain Member
States;
Whereas the Community is successfully applying an accelerated scheme for
brucellosis eradication;
Whereas, however, in certain Member States the total elimination of brucellosis
has not yet been achieved*, although it is expected that this objective will be
 realized within the next two years;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to prolong the validity of Article 7(1),
points C and E,
