The animals must be brought directly into Community territory via one of the border inspection posts of the Member State which intends to import them and be inspected there in accordance with paragraph 1 (b). Member States which make imports from third countries on the basis of national animal health rules shall inform the Commission and the other Member States, in particular Member States of transit, of the existence of such imports and of the requirements to which they subject such imports. Member States of destination shall prohibit animals from being sent on from their territory unless they have remained there for the periods laid down in the specific Community rules unless they are bound, without transit, for another Member State using the same option. However, pending the adoption of Community rules, those animals may be brought into the territory of a Member State other than that referred to in the second subparagraph following prior agreement given by that other Member State in a general manner and, where appropriate, by a Member State of transit on the arrangements for control. Member States shall inform the Commission and the other Member States in the framework of the Standing Veterinary Committee when they are making use of this derogation and of the control arrangements agreed upon.
