Imports of germinal products — dog semen from third countries.
Draft Regulation of the Minister for Agriculture and Rural Development on detailed veterinary requirements for the import of dog semen.
The draft regulation introduces requirements for the import of dog semen from third countries into the territory of the Republic of Poland. The draft is based on the health requirements applicable to the movement of canine and feline germinal products between Member States of the European Union (Article 36 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/686 of 17 December 2019 supplementing Regulation (EU) 2016/429 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the approval of germinal product establishments and the traceability and animal health requirements for movements within the Union of germinal products of certain kept terrestrial animals (OJ EU L 174, 03.06.2020, p. 1, as amended). The solution applied in the draft is in accordance with Article 234(1)(a) of Regulation (EU) 2016/429 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2016 on transmissible animal diseases and amending and repealing certain acts in the field of animal health (‘Animal Health Law’) (OJ EU L 84, 31.03.2016, p. 1, as amended.), which provides that the animal health requirements for the introduction of biological material into the Union shall be as stringent as the animal health requirements laid down in this Regulation and in the rules adopted pursuant thereto applicable to movements of germinal products within the Union. As regards the labelling of straws or other receptacles containing dog semen, the requirements are laid down in Article 11 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/686 of 17 December 2019 supplementing Regulation (EU) 2016/429 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the approval of germinal product establishments and the traceability and animal health requirements for movements within the Union of germinal products of certain kept terrestrial animals (OJ EU L 174, 03.06.2020, p. 1, as amended) which apply to the movement of semen between Member States of the European Union.
