rec_155

(155) In order to ensure that animals, germinal products and products of animal origin from third countries or territories fulfil animal health requirements that provide guarantees equivalent to those provided for in Union legislation, it is essential that they be subject to appropriate controls by the competent authority of the third country or territory from which they are exported to the Union. Where relevant, the health status of a third country or territory of origin should be verified prior to accepting entry into the Union of such animals, germinal products and products of animal origin. Consequently, only third countries and territories which can demonstrate that they meet the animal health standards for entry of the animals and products into the Union should be eligible to export them to the Union and be listed for that purpose.
