Abstract This Decree amends Presidential Decrees Nos. 599/1985 and 125/1986 regarding trade of glands and organs, including blood, for pharmaceutical manufacturing purposes under certain minimum conditions which ensure the proper and specific use of such raw materials. More specifically, a paragraph shall be added to article 4 of Presidential Decree No. 599 permitting, by way of derogation from certain provisions of the same paragraph, the introduction in the national territory, until 31 December 1996, of glands and organs, including blood, as raw materials for the pharmaceutical processing industry. Such introduction shall be subject to an authorization granted by the veterinary authorities. Also, in article 21 a sub paragraph is added permitting, until 31 December 1996, imports of glands and organs, including blood, coming from third countries which appear on the list drawn up under article 16, paragraph 1. Imports of the said raw materials coming from third countries which do not appear on this list may be authorized, taken into account the specific health situation of the third countries concerned. The conditions relating to the said imports must in no case be more favourable than those governing intra-Community trade.
