CHAPTER II

ANIMAL HEALTH REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO IMPORTS INTO THE COMMUNITY OF CERTAIN LIVE UNGULATE ANIMALS

Derogation from Article 7(a) as regards imports or transit from authorised third countries where imports or transit have been suspended or prohibited
Article 10
By way of derogation from Article 7(a), and in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 14(2), a specific period may be determined after which the importation or transit of live ungulates from an authorised third country may be resumed after the suspension or prohibition of importation or transit due to any change in the health situation, together with any additional conditions to be fulfilled after such resumption.
When deciding to resume the importation or transit of such animals, account shall be taken of:
- international standards,
- whether an outbreak or a number of epizootiologically interrelated outbreaks of one of the diseases listed in Annex II occurs within a geographically limited area in an authorised third country or region,
- whether the outbreak or outbreaks are successfully eradicated within a limited period of time.
Substituted by Corrigendum to Council Directive 2004/68/EC of 26 April 2004 laying down animal health rules for the importation into and transit through the Community of certain live ungulate animals, amending Directives 90/426/EEC and 92/65/EEC and repealing Directive 72/462/EEC (Official Journal of the European Union L 139 of 30 April 2004).
