01.12.09; Imports into the European Community of biltong from certain parts of South Africa and from Uruguay
A special Commission Decision lays down rules on imports into the European Community of consignments of certain meat products for human consumption. That Decision also lays down lists of third countries and parts thereof from which such imports are to be authorised and the model public and animal health certificates and the rules on the origin and treatments required for those products.
That Decision also lays down a list of third countries and parts thereof from which imports into the Community of biltong/jerky and pasteurised meat products are authorised.
South Africa has requested the European Commission to authorise imports into the European Community of biltong obtained from wild cloven-hoofed game from the same region of South Africa already authorised for the domestic species.
Uruguay has requested the Commission to also authorise imports into the EU of biltong from that third country obtained from meat of domestic bovine animals that has undergone the appropriate specific treatment.
The competent veterinary authorities of both countries provide appropriate guarantees as regards compliance with EU legislation.
The European Commission has therefore amended the EU-rules accordingly.
