Regulation 5 Importation from third countries

No person shall import a calf or a pig from a country outside the Economic Community unless it is accompanied by a certificate issued by the competent authority of that country, certifying that it has received treatment at least equivalent to that granted to animals of Community origin as provided for in Council Directive 91/629/EEC or Council Directive 91/630/EEC.

This regulation shall be enforced under the procedures relating to third country imports contained in the Animals and Animal Products (Import and Export) Regulations 1993^f1, and any contravention of this regulation shall be an offence under those Regulations.
