It provides that only consignments of meat products complying with the requirements of the model animal and public health certificate set out in Annex III in that Decision are imported into the Union. That model includes guarantees for Trichinella.\n(2)\nCommission Regulation (EC) No 2075/2005 lays down rules for the sampling of carcases of species susceptible to Trichinella infection and for the determination of the status of holdings keeping domestic swine.\n(3)\nCommission Regulation (EU) No 216/2014 amending Regulation (EC) No 2075/2005 grants derogation from testing provisions at slaughter to holdings which are officially recognised as applying controlled housing conditions. In addition, the Regulation (EU) No 216/2014 lays down that a holding where domestic swine are kept, can only be recognised as applying controlled housing conditions if, inter alia, the food business operator introduces new domestic swine onto this holding only if they come from other holdings also officially recognised as applying controlled housing conditions.\n(4)\nThe model animal and public health certificate set out in Annex III to Decision 2007/777/EC should be amended to reflect the requirements relating to imports of meat products laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2075/2005, as amended by Regulation (EU) No 216/2014.\n(5)\nDecision 2007/777/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(6)\nTo avoid any disruption of imports into the Union of consignments of meat products from domestic porcine animals, the use of certificates issued in accordance with Decision 2007/777/EC in its version prior to the amendments being introduced by this Decision should be authorised during a transitional period subject to certain conditions.\n(7)\nThe measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:",
