• Article 7 has been introduced to clarify the procedure for certain livestock products that are to be used for genetic enhancement purposes: "For establishments wishing to export livestock products for genetic enhancement purposes, such as live bovine animals, sheep and goats, and genetic reproductive material (semen, ova and embryos of animal species intended for livestock production), the veterinary service of the exporting country must send AGROCALIDAD a livestock product export request, attaching the information corresponding to Annex 1 (species health status) of this Resolution. Once the health status has been approved, the same veterinary service shall submit a list of veterinary service-approved establishments that comply with the verifiable procedures that guarantee the sanitary handling of animals or, where appropriate, the biosafety of processes for collecting, processing and storing reproductive material, in accordance with the guidelines set out in the OIE Terrestrial Animal Health Code.

Regulation (EU) 2016/429 in Article 5 and Annex II establishes a harmonised list of transmissible animal diseases ('listed diseases') which pose a risk to animal or public health in the Union. Those listed diseases require different management approaches, set out in Article 9 of the basic regulation, which depend on the seriousness of their impact on public or animal health, economy, society or the environment. The basic regulation sets out predefined criteria for the categorisation of listed disease in order to lay down which listed diseases are to be subject to which management measures. This Commission Implementing Regulation assigns the above referred categories of measures to listed diseases, based on pre-set criteria.
In addition, the rules for the prevention and control of a specific transmissible animal disease should apply to species of animals, which can transmit the disease in question, in accordance with the criteria set out in Article 8 of the basic regulation. This implementing regulation assigns to each listed disease a list of such animal species to which the measures for specific listed diseases will apply in the Union ('listed species') . |
