The implementation of the internal market, with the abolition of border controls between the Member States of the European Community, has implied the establishment of animal and health health rules to be applied. to all products whose trade and imports have not yet been subject to harmonisation at Community level.

On the other hand, taking into account the considerable risks of the spread of diseases to which animals are exposed, it is necessary to fix for certain products of animal origin the special requirements to be comply with the market for the purpose of exchange, in particular for regions with an advanced health status.

As regards the importation of third countries, it is necessary to establish a procedure for the authorization of both the countries and the establishments, in order to satisfy the requirements of this Royal Decree.

Consequently, it is necessary to incorporate into Spanish legislation the animal health and health requirements laid down in Council Directive 92/118/EEC of 17 December establishing the animal health and health conditions applicable to trade and imports into the Community of products not subject, in respect of these conditions, to the specific Community rules referred to in Chapter I of the Annex A to Directive 89 /662/EEC and, as regards pathogens, to Directive 90 /425/EEC, bearing in mind that the two Directives have already been transposed into national law by Royal Decrees 49/1993 of 15 January concerning veterinary checks applicable in intra-Community trade in products of origin (i) animal health; and 1316/1992 of 30 October 1992 laying down veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable to intra-Community trade in certain animals, birds and products with a view to the completion of the internal market and Directive 92/118/EEC must be amended in its annexes.

It should also be borne in mind that Directive 92/118/EEC has been partially incorporated into the Spanish legal order by Royal Decree 1904/1993 of 29 October 1993 laying down health conditions for the production and marketing of meat products and certain other products of animal origin, and Royal Decree 2224/1993 of 17 December 1993 on health rules for the disposal and processing of dead animals and waste of origin animal feed and protection against pathogens in feed of animal origin.

The Commission Decision of 13 July 1994 amending Chapter 13 of Annex I to Council Directive 92/118/EEC of 17 December laying down animal health and health conditions applicable to trade and to imports into the Community of products not subject to the specific Community rules referred to in Chapter I of Annex A to Directive 89 /662/EEC and, as a result of which, In the case of pathogens, Directive 90 /425/EEC, which is also incorporated into the Present Royal Decree.

addition, the completion of the internal market provided for in Article 7a of the Treaty establishing the European Community will entail the removal of all obstacles to intra-Community trade with a view to the merger of national markets in a single market. In view of the fact that this leads to the abolition of border controls for intra-Community trade and the strengthening of guarantees at source, no differences can be made between products destined for the domestic market and those intended for the market in another Member State, and so the Community rules have been enacted.

This Royal Decree is dictated by the State competence contained in Article 149.1.10. and 16. of the Constitution and pursuant to Articles 38 and 40.2 of Law 14/1986 of 25 April, General of Health, after consultation of the sectors concerned and prior to the report of the Inter-Ministerial Commission for Food Management.
