COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION EU 2023/647
of 13 January 2023
amending Delegated Regulation EU 2020/686 supplementing Regulation EU 2016/429 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the approval of germinal product establishments and the traceability and animal health requirements for movements within the Union of germinal products of certain kept terrestrial animals Text with EEA relevance
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Having regard to Regulation EU 2016/429 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2016 on transmissible animal diseases and amending and repealing certain acts in the area of animal health Animal Health Law 1, and in particular Article 1601 and 2, and Articles 1624 and 1642 thereof, Whereas:
1
Regulation EU 2016/429 lays down rules for the prevention and control of animal diseases which are transmissible to animals or humans, including rules for the registration and approval of germinal product establishments, and for the traceability and animal health requirements for movements of consignments of germinal products within the Union. Regulation EU 2016/429 also empowers the Commission to adopt rules to supplement certain nonessential elements of that Regulation by means of delegated acts.
2
Commission Delegated Regulation EU 2020/686 2 lays down supplementing rules for the approval of germinal product establishments, record keeping and traceability of germinal products, as well as animal health and certification requirements for movements within the Union of germinal products of certain kept terrestrial animals.
3
The rules laid down in this Regulation are required to supplement those laid down in Part IV, Title I, Chapter 5, of Regulation EU 2016/429 as regards the traceability and animal health requirements and animal health certification requirements for movements within the Union of consignments of germinal products of certain kept terrestrial animals in order to prevent the spread of transmissible animal diseases within the Union by those products.
4
These rules are substantively linked and many are intended to be applied in tandem. In the interests of simplicity and transparency, as well as to facilitate their application and to avoid a multiplication of rules, they therefore should be laid down in a single act rather than in a number of separate acts with many cross-references and the risk of duplication.
