Appendix 1

Commission Regulation (EC) No, 504/2008

of 6. June 2008

on the implementation of Council Directive 90 /426/EEC and 90 /427/EEC in the case of methods for the identification of equidae ;

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION FOR THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES HAS-

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 90 /426/EEC of 26. June 1990 on animal health conditions governing the movements of solipeds and imports of equidae from third countries [ 1 ], and in particular Article 4 (4) thereof, 4,

Having regard to Council Directive 90 /427/EEC of 26. June 1990 on the zootechnical and genealogical conditions governing intra-Community trade in equidae [ 2 ], and in particular Article 4 (4) thereof, Article 6 (2) (c) and (d), Article 6 (1), 2, second indent, and Article 8 (2), 1), first subparagraph,

Having regard to Council Directive 94 /28/EC of 23. In June 1994 laying down the principles of zootechnical and genealogical conditions for the importation of animals and their semen, ova and embryos from third countries and amending Directive 77 /504/EEC on racial breeding animals [ 3 ], and in particular Article 3 (3) thereof, 4, and

in the following considerations :

(1) The Commission Decision 93 /623/EEC of 20. In October 1993 on an identification document (passport) intended to accompany registered equidae [ 4 ], the animal health inspection procedure shall include a method for the identification of registered equidae during relocation.

(2) Commission Decision 2000 /68/EC of 22. In December 1999 amending Decision 93 /623/EEC and on the identification of equidae for breeding and production of use [ 5 ] contains provisions relating to the identification document to accompany equidae that are moved.

(3) Decision 93 /623/EEC and 2000 /688/EC have not been implemented in the same way in all Member States. In addition, the identification of equidae in these decisions is linked to relocation, while other animals under the relevant Community legislation must be identified regardless of whether they are moved or not, among other animals as part of the Community legislation, the eraditation of the disease. The two-part system with equidae for breeding and farm animals on the one hand and registered equidae on the other side may also mean that more than one identification document is issued for the same animal-a situation which can only be used for the same animal ; countered by the fact that the animal in question has an indelible but not necessarily visible, in the context of the first identification.

(4) The summary diagram of the identification document of Decision 93 /623/EEC is not complete in accordance with the corresponding information required by international organizations managing equidae for competitions and races, and by the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE). This Regulation should therefore be drawn up by means of a view diagram meeting the Community's requirements and in line with the relevant internationally recognised requirements.

(5) Importation of equidae remains subject to the provisions of Directive 90 /426/EEC and in particular the Commission Decision 93 /196/EEC of 5. February 1993 on animal health conditions and veterinary certification for the importation of equidae for slaughter [ 6 ] and the Commission Decision 93 /197/EEC of 5. February 1993 on animal health conditions and veterinary certification for the importation of registered equidae and equidae for breeding and production of use [ 7 ].

(6) For the purposes of the customs procedure laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2, 2913/92 of 12. In October 1992 establishing a Community Customs Code [ 8 ], it is necessary also to refer to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2, 706/73 of 12. 1 March 1973 on the Community provisions to apply to the Canal Islands and the island of trade in agricultural products [ 9 ]. Regulation (EEC) No 2, The Community ' s veterinary legislation shall apply from 1 to 76/73. September 1973, but without the scope of the zootechnical legislation. This Regulation should not affect the application of the above Regulation.

(7) Regulation (EC) No 4 of the European Parliament and of the Council 1760/2000 of 17. In July 2000 establishing a system for the identification and registration of bovine animals and the labelling of beef and beef products [ 10 ] is defined as a user of animals. in Article 4 (2), Whereas, in Directive 90 /426/EEC, reference is made to the owner or farmed of the animal. Council Directive 92 /35/EEC of 29. April 1992 laying down rules for controlling and control measures to combat African horse sickness [ 11 ] is used a combined definition of the owner and user. Since the owner of an animal in accordance with Community legislation and national legislation does not necessarily be responsible for the animal, it should be specified that it is first and foremost the user of the equidae which may also be the owner to be responsible ; in order to identify the animal in accordance with this Regulation.

(8) For the clarity of Community legislation, methods for the identification of equidae laid down by this Regulation should be used without prejudice to the application of Commission Decision 96 /78/EC of 10. January 1996 on the criteria for the introduction and registration of breeding shovels in herd books [ 12 ].

(9) The methods should be in accordance with the principles established by the breeding bodies approved in accordance with Commission Decision 92 /353/EEC of 11. June 1992 on the criteria for approval or recognition of organisations and associations which carry out or establish stock books for registered equidae [ 13 ]. According to the same decision, it is incumbated by the organization or association that leads the original stock book to establish a basis for a system for the identification of equidae, the division of the master book into classes and the entry into and-writing of parents and Grandparents in the family book.

(10) In addition, the certificate of origin will be in the certificate of origin, cf. in Article 4 (4), Whereas Article 6 (2) (d) of Directive 90 /427/EEC, which must be contained in the identification document, should be provided for all the information required to ensure that equidae that are moved between different tribal books are entered in the relevant class ; in the stock book, in accordance with the criteria which the animals are meeting.

(11) In accordance with Article 1, third indent, in Commission Decision 96 /510/EC of 18. in July 1996 concerning the zootechnical crop certificates for the importation of breeding animals and their semen, ova and embryos [ 14 ], the zootechnical afmaster certificate for registered equidae shall correspond to the identification document of Decision 93 /623/EEC. It is therefore necessary to specify that any reference to Decision 93 /623/EEC, but also for Decision 2000 /68/EC, shall be considered as a reference to this Regulation.

(12) Since all equidae born or imported into the Community in accordance with this Regulation shall be identified by a single identification document, it is necessary to lay down specific rules for the situation in which animals are treated ; the status of equidae for breeding and production of use is changed to the status of registered equidae after the meaning of Article 2 (c) of Directive 90 /426/EEC.

(13) Member States should be given the option of introducing special arrangements for the identification of equidae which stray wild or partial wild or partial in particular areas, including nature reserves, in order to establish compliance with Article 2 (2). 2, in Directive 92 /35/EEC.

(14) The use of electronic identifiers (' transponders ') in the field of equidae, there is already a great deal at international level. This technology should be used to ensure a close link between the equidae and the means of identification. The equidae should be labelled with a transponder, but it should be possible to use alternative methods to verify the identity of the animal, provided that these alternative methods provide equivalent guarantees, so that the issue of several different approaches is given ; identification documents are avoided.

(15) Encouched animals must always be accompanied by their identification documents in accordance with the applicable Community legislation, but it should be possible to dispense with this requirement if it is impossible or very difficult to maintain the identification document ; during the lifetime of the single-head, or if this document is not issued because the animal is to be slaughtered before it reaches the maximum age required for identification.

(16) Such derogations should be granted without prejudice to the application of Article 14 of Council Directive 2003 /85/EC of 29. September 2003 laying down Community measures for the control of foot-and-mouth disease [ 15 ], which provide for the possibility of derogation from certain animal disease control measures for identified equidae on holdings, where there is a confirmed outbreak of this ; sickness.

(17) Member States should also have the possibility of allowing a simplified identification document for equidae that are moved within their own territory. In some places, plastic maps have been introduced with a built-in computer chip ("smar-card") to store the relevant data. It should be permitted to issue such emerds as a supplement to the identification document and in certain circumstances to use these, instead of the identification document accompanying the equidae of relocation within one, Member State.

(18) In accordance with Article 8 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2, 2076/2005 of 5. In December 2005, on transitional arrangements for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 2 of the European Parliament and of the Council. (EC) No 853/2004, no. (EC) No 854/2004 and (EC) No 882/2004 [ 16 ], the requirements for information on the food chain for equidae must have been completed by the end of 2009.

(19) It is necessary to lay down provisions for the event that the original identification document issued for the entire life of the animal under this Regulation shall be suspended. These provisions should, as far as possible, prevent the illegal possession of more than one identification document for the purposes of a proper indication of the status of the animal for slaughter for human consumption. In the case of adequate and verifiable information, a duplicate document should be issued, which is marked as a duplicate and in general ensure that the animal is kept out of the food chain ; in other cases, a certificate should be issued ; the replacement document, which shall also be marked as such, and thereby declassifying a previously registered encouched equidae for a equidae for breeding and production.

(20) The identification document is, cf.. Articles 4 and 5 of Directive 90 /426/EEC, a tool intended to make it possible to ensure that equidae are not moved in the event of a disease outbreak on the holding of animals being kept or bred. It is therefore necessary to stipulate that the validity of this document to move in the event of outbreaks of certain diseases is temporarily repealed with an endorsement in the identification document.

(21) In the death of the one-headed animal, except for slaughter in a slaughterhouse, the identification document should be returned to the issuing body of the authority responsible for monitoring the processing of the dead animal in accordance with the European Parliament ; and Council Regulation (EC) No, 1774/2002 of 3. In October 2002 on health rules for animal by-products not intended for human consumption [ 17 ], as it should be ensured that the transponder or alternative devices, including brands, for the confirmation of the identity of the equidae may not be able to : recysable.

(22) In order to prevent transponders from entering the food chain, the meat of animals from which it has not been possible to remove the transponder at the time of slaughter should be declared unfit for human consumption, cf. Chapter V of Title II of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2 of the European Parliament and of the Council. 854/2004 of 29. April 2004 laying down specific provisions relating to the organisation of the official controls on animal products intended for human consumption [ 18 ].

(23) Standardized provisions for the transponder to be implanted and the registration of this site in the identification document should make it easier to locate implanted transponders.

(24) Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No (EC) No 2 of the European Parliament and of the Council. 8/178/2002 of 28. In January 2002 on general principles and requirements in food law, the establishment of the European Food Safety Authority and on food safety procedures [ 19 ] are defined live animals prepared for the marketing of applications ; as human food. In the same regulation, food business operators are subject to a wide-ranging responsibility in all stages of food production, including in relation to the traceability of the animals used in food production.

(25) Enquired animals for breeding and production of equidae and registered equidae may at some point in their life become the slaughter of animals as defined in Article 2 (d) of Directive 90 /426/EEC. Meat of equidae, a synonym for equidae, is defined in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2 of the European Parliament and of the Council. 853/2004 of 29. April 2004 on the specific hygiene rules applicable to food of animal origin [ 20 ].

(26) In accordance with the provisions of Title III, point 7 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No (EC) No (EC) No On the basis of information on the food chain, the slaughterhouse operators shall receive, check and take action on the basis of information on the origin, lifeflows and handling of animals intended for food production. The competent authority may permit the information on the food chain for encouched livestock not to be sent to the slaughterhouse in advance, but with animals. The information on the food chain should therefore include the identification document accompanying the equidae for slaughter.

(27) In accordance with Title II, Chapter III, point 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No, The official veterinarian must verify that the operator of the food business complies with the obligation to ensure that animals accepted for slaughter for human consumption are properly identified.

(28) According to paragraph 8 of Title III of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 2, In order to ensure that the animal is intended for slaughter for human consumption and if they receive the animal for slaughter, they shall have to hand over the animal to the official veterinarian for the purposes of food business operators.

(29) Without prejudice to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2, 2377/90 of 26. June 1990 laying down a common approach to the establishment of maximum residue limits for veterinary medicinal products in animal foodstuffs [ 21 ] and Council Directive 96 /22/EC of 29. In April 1996 banning the use of certain substances having a hormonal and thyrostatic action and of beta-agonists in farm [ 22 ] is the treatment of solids with veterinary medicinal products subject to Directive 2001 /82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6. November 2001 on the establishment of a Community Code of Veterinary Medicinal Products [ 23 ].

(30) Article 10 (1). Whereas, in Directive 2001 /82/EC, provisions on special derogations applicable to equidae from the same Article 11 concerning the treatment of animals for food production with medicinal products for which a maximum limit value is set for which a maximum limit value has been set for : residues for other species other than those intended for which the medicinal product is intended or approved for the treatment of another condition, provided that the equidae in question has been identified in accordance with Community legislation and in the identification document has been declared not intended for slaughter for human consumption or for which it is determined ; for the slaughter for human consumption after a withdrawal period of not less than six months after the animals have been treated with substances in the Commission Regulation (EC) No 2 ; 1950/2006 of 13. In December 2006, laying down a list of substances which are essential for the treatment of equidae, in accordance with Directive 2001 /82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a Community Code of Veterinary Medicinal Products [ 24 ].

(31) In order to maintain control of the issue of identification documents, a certain amount of relevant data relating to the issue of these documents should be recorded in a database. The databases of the different Member States should be interworked, cf. Council Directive 89 /608/EEC of 21. November 1989 on mutual assistance between the administrative authorities of the Member States and cooperation between the Member States and the Commission in order to ensure the proper application of the veterinary and zootechnical provisions [ 25 ], to facilitate the exchange ; of information.

(32) Universal Equine Life Number (UELN) system has been approved worldwide by the largest hesteavls and competition organisations. The System was developed on the initiative of the World Breeding Federation for Sport Horses (WBFSH), International Stud-Book Committee (ISBC), World Arabian Horse Organization (WAHO), European Conference of Arabian Horse Organisations (ECAHO), Conférence International de l' Anglo-Arabe (CIAA), Fédération Equestre International (FEI) and Européenne du Trot (UNET) and information about the system on UELN website [ 26 ].

(33) The UELN system is suitable for registering both registered equidae and equidae for breeding and production and to enable the gradual process of computerized networks to ensure that the identity of the animals continues to be controlled ; in accordance with Article 6 of Directive 90 /427/EEC, where the subject of registered equidae has been recorded.

(34) The codes, the databases are allocated and the format used for the registered identification numbers of each animal should not be in any way incompatibility with the established UELN system. The UELN tags list should therefore be consulted before a database is assigned a new code.

(35) In accordance with Article 7 (2), The official veterinarian of a register shall include the identification number or identification document number of the slaughtered animal slaughtered and at the request of the competent authority at the time of dispatch of this forwarder, at the request of the competent authority, at the request of the competent authority, a certified statement which confirms that the animal is slaughtered. Article 4 (3) of the same Directive. 4 (i), the identification document following the slaughter of a registered animal shall be returned to the authority which issued it. These requirements should also apply to identification documents issued to equidae for breeding and farm animals. Registration of an UELN compatible indication and use of this to identify the authorities or bodies which have issued the identification document should make it easier to meet these requirements : Member States should, if possible, make use of it ; by the liaison bodies they have designated in accordance with Article 35 of Regulation (EC) No 2 of the European Parliament and of the Council. 882/2004 of 29. April 2004 on official control for the verification of compliance with feed and food law and animal health and animal welfare rules [ 27 ].

(36) The veterinary inspection necessary to provide the necessary animal health guarantees, cf. Whereas Articles 4 and 5 of Directive 90 /426/EEC may be ensured only if the competent authority is aware of the holding as defined in Article 2 (a) of the same Directive. Similar requirements arising from the application of food law concerning equidae used as animals intended for food production. However, as equidae are moved frequently in relation to other livestock, however, the introduction of regular real-time traceability to equidae should not be revoked. The identification of equidae should therefore be a first step on the road to a system for the identification and registration of equidae that would be finalised in the context of the Community's new animal health policy.

(37) For the uniform application of Community legislation on the identification of equidae in the Member States and in order to ensure that the legislation is clear and transparent, Decision 93 /623/EEC and 2000 /68/EC should be repealed and replaced by this Regulation.

(38) transitional measures should be adopted that enable the Member States to adapt to the provisions of this Regulation.

(39) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
