COUNCIL DECISION

(2009/436/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 37 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2008/73/EC (2) amended a total of 23 Council acts to provide, inter alia, for simplified procedures of listing and publishing information in the veterinary and zootechnical fields.
(2) Directive 2008/73/EC entered into force on 3 September 2008. Member States are to bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with that Directive by 1 January 2010. However, that Directive did not provide that the Member States were to apply those provisions from that date.
(3) For the sake of legal certainty, Directive 2008/73/EC should be corrected to ensure that the amendments made to the various Council acts by that Directive, in order to provide for those simplified procedures, are uniformly applied by the Member States from 1 January 2010. Directive 2008/73/EC should therefore be corrected so that it also applies from that date. Accordingly, that Directive should also be corrected in order to provide that the Member States are to apply those provisions from that date.
(4) However, certain other amendments made by Directive 2008/73/EC to Directives 64/432/EEC (3) and 90/426/EEC (4) do not concern the simplified procedures and therefore they do not require the deferred date of application by the Member States of 1 January 2010. Those amendments concern respectively the adoption of specific animal health measures in accordance with the procedure laid down in Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (5) and correct an outdated reference.
(5) In order to ensure a smooth transition to the new simplified procedures of listing and publishing information in the veterinary and zootechnical fields, it should be provided that transitional provisions may be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Decision 1999/468/EC.
(6) To ensure legal certainty and continuity, this Decision should apply from 3 September 2008, the date of entry into force of Directive 2008/73/EC.
(7) Directive 2008/73/EC should therefore be corrected accordingly,
Directive 2008/73/EC is hereby corrected as follows:
1. paragraph 2 of Article 20 shall be deleted;
2. the following Articles shall be inserted:
3. Article 24(1) shall be replaced by the following:
4. Article 25 shall be replaced by the following:
This Decision shall apply from 3 September 2008.
This Decision shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

amending Regulation (EC) No 318/2007 laying down the animal health conditions for imports of certain birds into the Community and the quarantine conditions thereof
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/65/EEC of 13 July 1992 laying down animal health requirements governing trade in and imports into the Community of animals, semen, ova and embryos not subject to animal health requirements laid down in specific Community rules referred to in Annex A(I) to Directive 90/425/EEC (1), and in particular Article 17(3)(a) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 318/2007 (2) lays down the animal health conditions for imports of certain birds into the Union. It provides that the birds covered by it are to be imported into the Union only if they originate from third countries or parts thereof referred to in Annex I thereto.
(2) Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 318/2007 refers to the third countries or parts thereof which are listed in columns 1 and 3 of the table in Part 1 of Annex I to Commission Decision 2006/696/EC (3) and from which imports of breeding or productive poultry other than ratites is permitted.

The references to that Decision in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 318/2007 should therefore be replaced by references to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008.

An inspection carried out by the Commission’s Food and Veterinary Office in Argentina including the follow-up actions undertaken by that third country demonstrated that Argentina provides appropriate guarantees as regards compliance with Union rules required for imports into the Union of such birds.
(5) Argentina is currently listed in the table set out in Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008. However, imports of breeding or productive poultry other than ratites from that third country are not permitted. Argentina should therefore be included as a separate entry in the list set out in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 318/2007.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 318/2007 is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
