Description

Participation in intra-Community trade in certain animals and animal products requires approval of participating establishments in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/429. The procedure is application-based. It is checked whether compliance with the relevant animal disease, animal health and hygiene requirements can be guaranteed. Livestock, productive and breeding poultry including day-old chicks, monkeys and prosimians, and a variety of animal products (e.g. semen, embryos and ova, and hatching eggs) may only be moved to other EU Member States if the animals or products originate from an appropriately approved establishment (e.g. EC livestock trading companies for cattle, pigs, sheep, goats; EC traders' stables for cattle, pigs, sheep, goats; EC livestock assembly centres for cattle, pigs, sheep, goats and solipeds; zoos, wildlife parks and other establishments keeping animals for scientific or experimental purposes or for the preservation of animal species or breeds).

With the approval, the respective establishment is assigned an approval number to be published for intra-Community trade.

Prerequisites

Farm animals, productive and breeding poultry including day-old chicks, monkeys and prosimians, and a variety of animal products (e.g. semen, embryos and ova, and hatching eggs) may only be moved to other EU member states if the animals or products come from an approved establishment. For individual animals, products and establishments, the requirements are set out in Delegated Regulations (EU) 2019/2035 and 2020/691.

Procedure

With the approval notice, the company is assigned an approval number for intra-Community trade, which is listed and published.
