ANNEX III MODEL HEALTH CERTIFICATES FOR THE IMPORTATION FROM THIRD COUNTRIES OF TECHNICAL GELATINE TO BE USED BY THE PHOTOGRAPHIC INDUSTRY

Notes

(a) Veterinary certificates for the importation of technical gelatine to be used by the photographic industry shall be produced by the exporting country, based on the model appearing in this Annex III. They shall contain the attestations that are required for any third country and, as the case may be, those supplementary guarantees that are required for the exporting third country or part thereof.

(b) The original of each certificate shall consist of a single page, both sides, or, where more text is required, it shall be in such a form that all pages needed are part of an integrated whole and indivisible.

(c) It shall be drawn up in at least one of the official languages of the EU Member State in which the inspection at the EU border inspection post shall be carried out and of the EU Member State of destination. However, these Member States may allow other languages, if necessary, accompanied by an official translation.

(d) If for reasons of identification of the items of the consignment, additional pages are attached to the certificate, these pages shall also be considered as forming part of the original of the certificate by the application of the signature and stamp of the certifying official veterinarian, in each of the pages.

(e) When the certificate, including additional schedules referred to in (d), comprises more than one page, each page shall be numbered — [page number] of [total number of pages] — on its bottom and shall bear the code number of the certificate that has been designated by the competent authority on its top.

(f) The original of the certificate must be completed and signed by an official veterinarian. In doing so, the competent authorities of the exporting country shall ensure that the principles of certification equivalent to those laid down in Council Directive 96/93/EC are followed.

(g) The colour of the signature shall be different to that of the printing. The same rule applies to stamps other than those embossed or watermark.

(h) The original of the certificate must accompany the consignment at the EU border inspection post until it reaches the photographic factory of destination.
