French Sanitary Certificate - Form 1

Regulation (EU) No 605/2010 of 2 July 2010 laying down animal and public health and veterinary certification conditions for the introduction into the European Union of raw milk and dairy products intended for human consumption provides that consignments of raw milk and dairy products intended for human consumption, authorised for importation into the Union, are to be accompanied by a health certificate drawn up in accordance with the appropriate model set out in Part 2 of Annex II thereto for the commodity concerned (‘the model health ...[+++] certificates’).

In order to allow a more precise identification of those commodities in the model health certificates, it is necessary to add the missing HS codes 15.17 (margarine) and 28.35 (phosphates) in the respective models of the health certificates ‘Milk-HTB’, ‘Milk-HTC’ and ‘Milk-T/S’ in Annex II to that Regulation.

In order to allow the introduction of colostrum and colostrum-based products into the Union, a new model health certificate for such commodities should be added in Part 2 of Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 605/2010 and the model health certificate for raw milk and dairy products for human consumption intended for transit through or storage in the Union set out in Part 3 of Annex II to that Regulation should be amended in order to cover colostrum and colostrum-based products.

For a transitional period until 6 September 2014 the introduction into the European Union of consignments of raw milk and dairy products not intended for importation into the European Union but destined for a third country either by immediate transit or after storage in the Union, in accordance with Articles 11, 12 or 13 of Directive 97/78/EC, accompanied by a health certificate conforming to the model set out in Part 2 of Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 605/2010, in its version prior to the entry into force of this Regulation, shall be authorised, provided that the certificate has been signed within 26 July 2014.
