COMMISSION DECISION of 10 April 1992 on animal health conditions and veterinary certification for temporary admission of registered horses (92/260/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/426/EEC of 26 June 1990 on animal health conditions governing the movement and import from third countries of equidae (1), as last amended by Commission Decision 92/130/EEC (2), in particular Articles 15 (a) and 16 thereof,
Whereas by Council Decision 79/542/EEC (3), as last amended by Commission Decision 92/162/EEC (4), the list of third countries from which the Member States authorize imports of equidae in particular has been established;
Whereas it is also necessary to take into account the regionalization of certain third countries, which is the subject of Commission Decision 92/160/EEC (5), as amended by Decision 92/161/EEC (6);
Whereas the existence of equivalent health situations between certain third countries justifies establishing several health zones for the importation of equidae;
Whereas the different categories of horses have their own features and their imports are authorized for different purposes; whereas, consequently, specific health requirements must be established for temporary admissions of registered horses;
Whereas, given the existence of different health situations, it is necessary to establish several health certificates for temporary admission of registered horses;
Whereas this Decision should be re-examined before 31 December 1992;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Without prejudice to Decision 92/160/EEC, Member States shall authorize the temporary admission of registered horses:
- coming from third countries appearing in Annex I,
- conforming to the requirements laid down in one of the specimen animal health certificates in Annex II.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States. Done at Brussels, 10 April 1992.
