    After Parliament had given its opinion, the Commission amended its proposal as follows: - animals of the bovine and porcine species referred to in the Directive shall be accompanied, during transportation to their place of destination, by a health certificate which complies with Annex I. This certificate must have a serial number. In addition, it must be written on the day of the health inspection in one of the official languages of the country of origin and in one of the official languages of the country of destination. It shall remain valid for a period of 10 days as from the date of the health inspection; - bovine animals intended for slaughter must come from herds which are officially free of tuberculosis and bovine enzootic leucosis, and in the case of non-castrated bovine animals, from herds which are officially free of brucellosis. The Commission did not accept certain amendments, which in its opinion were too detailed, unworkable or already covered by the proposal. �

• 1994/01/07 Legislative proposal published
  • COM(1993)0698 summary

    This proposed directive had a number of objectives: - now that specific Community rules had been adopted to combat foot-and-mouth disease, exotic diseases and African swine fever, it was appropriate to delete existing provisions on these problems in Council Directive 64/432/EEC on animal health problems affecting intra-Community trade in bovine animals and swine; - with regard to the single market, the requirement for animals to have spent at least 6 months in a Member State before being transported needed to be abolished. Furthermore, calves under 15 days old needed to be included in the scope of the directive, and the references to border posts removed; - the requirement to carry out tests prior to transport on animals from countries or regions which were recognised as free of tuberculosis, brucellosis or enzootic bovine leucosis also needed to be abolished, together with mammitis screening tests on dairy cows, as a further step towards completion of the single market. Because Council Directive 64/632/EEC had been amended more than 40 times since it was adopted, it needed to be consolidated. �
