Abstract

This Directive lays down some amendments to Directive 90/539/EEC relating to animal health conditions as regards intra-Community trade as well as imports from third countries of poultry and hatching eggs. Hereinafter, the definitions of "day-old chicks" and "flock" contained in article 1 (1) of this Directive shall apply and shall replace those laid down in Directive 90/539/EC. Article 5, concerning the conditions to be fulfilled by hatching eggs and breeding poultry for the purposes of trade within the Community, shall be replaced by article 1 (5) hereto. Article 10a shall be added. In accordance with such new provision, at the time of consignment, poultry over 72 hours old intended for restocking supplies of wild game must have come from a holding: (a) where it has been held since hatching or for more than 21 days and where it has not been placed in contact with newly-arrived poultry during the two weeks preceding consignment; (b) which is not the subject of any animal health restrictions applicable to poultry; (c) where the health examination carried out by the official veterinarian or authorized veterinarian during the 48 hours preceding dispatch on the flock from which the consignment is to be drawn has not revealed within that flock any clinical sign or suspicion of contagious poultry disease; (d) which is not located in an area which for animal health reasons is subject to prohibition in accordance with Community legislation as a result of an outbreak of disease to which poultry is susceptible.
