Regulation on zootechnical and genealogical conditions applicable to pure-bred animals placed on the market.

This Regulation of the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Food, which is composed of five articles, lays down zootechnical and genealogical standards applicable to pure-bred animals, their semen, ova and embryos. For the purposes of these provisions pure-bred animal means any animal for breeding which is specified in art.1 of the Council Directive 91/174/EEC, which is marketed and has not been a subject to detailed zootechnical legislation of the European Union, and is itself entered or registered in the register maintained by a recognized breeders organization. Imports of pure-bred animals, their semen, ova and embryos from third countries should not be done under more favorable conditions as the trade within the European Union Member States.
