COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2017/1940
of 13 July 2017
supplementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1012 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the content and format of zootechnical certificates issued for purebred breeding animals of the equine species contained in a single lifetime identification document for equidae
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2016/1012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2016 on zootechnical and genealogical conditions for the breeding, trade in and entry into the Union of purebred breeding animals, hybrid breeding pigs and the germinal products thereof and amending Regulation (EU) No 652/2014, Council Directives 89/608/EEC and 90/425/EEC and repealing certain acts in the area of animal breeding (‘Animal Breeding Regulation’) (1), and in particular Article 32(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Regulation (EU) 2016/1012 lays down zootechnical and genealogical rules for trade in breeding animals, and for their entry into the Union. Regulation (EU) 2016/1012 applies from 1 November 2018. |
(2) |
Article 30 of Regulation (EU) 2016/1012 lays down rules for the issuing, content and format of zootechnical certificates accompanying breeding animals and their germinal products (‘the zootechnical certificate’). It provides that where purebred breeding animals that have been entered in a breeding book maintained by a breed society are traded and where those purebred breeding animals are intended to be entered in another breeding book, those breeding animals are to be accompanied by a zootechnical certificate. |
(3) |
Article 30(6) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1012 provides that zootechnical certificates are to contain the information set out in the relevant Parts and Chapters of Annex V to that Regulation. Article 32(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1012 provides that, by way of derogation from Article 30(6) thereof, in the case of purebred breeding animals of the equine species, the information set out in Chapter I of Part 2 of Annex V thereto is to be contained in a single lifetime identification document for equidae and delegated acts are to be adopted concerning the content and format of such identification documents. |
(4) |
Chapter I of Part 2 of Annex V to Regulation (EU) 2016/1012 lays down rules concerning the information to be contained in the zootechnical certificate for purebred breeding animals. That information is to include the system of identification and the individual identification number given to the purebred breeding animal in accordance with Union animal health law on the identification and registration of the animals of the species concerned. |
(5) |
Regulation (EU) 2016/429 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) lays down traceability requirements for kept terrestrial animals and germinal products. Article 114 of that Regulation provides that operators keepingkept animals of the equine species are to ensure that those animals are individually identified by a unique code which is recorded in the computer database provided for in that Regulation and by a correctly completed single lifetime identification document. In order for the zootechnical certificate to be streamlined as far as possible with that single lifetime identification document as regards content and administrative procedure, Regulation (EU) 2016/1012 provided for delegated acts to be adopted in respect of the format and content of a single lifetime identification document for animals of the equine species. |
(6) |
Therefore, it is necessary to establish the content and the format of the zootechnical certificate that is to be contained in the single... |
