Breeders' associations, which are officially approved by a Member State or the official service of a Member State, may not oppose the entry in their herd-books of pure-bred breeding pigs from other Member States. Member States may require pure-bred breeding pigs and the semen, ova and embryos of such animals to be accompanied at the time of their marketing by certificates. Chapter III lays down the rules governing intra-Community trade in hybrid breeding pigs. (14 articles)
