# COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1746/2005

of 24 October 2005

amending Regulation (EEC) No 2342/92 as regards the pedigree certificates to be presented for granting export refunds on female pure-bred breeding animals of the bovine species

## Preamble

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal [^1] , and in particular Articles 31(4) and 33(12) thereof,

Whereas:

**(1)** Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2342/92 of 7 August 1992 on imports of pure-bred breeding animals of the bovine species from third countries and the granting of export refunds thereon and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 1544/79 [^2] lays down the criteria for granting export refunds on female pure-bred breeding animals of the bovine species. Those criteria include the presentation of a pedigree certificate at the time when the customs export formalities are completed.

**(2)** Certain requirements regarding the particulars to be contained in pedigree certificates are set out in Article 3(a) of Regulation (EEC) No 2342/92. Those requirements derive directly from Commission Decision 86/404/EEC [^3] , which was repealed and replaced by Commission Decision 2005/379/EC of 17 May 2005 on pedigree certificates and particulars for pure-bred breeding animals of the bovine species, their semen, ova and embryos [^4] .

**(3)** Some of the requirements regarding the content of pedigree certificates were clarified in Decision 2005/379/EC. The provisions on the particulars to be contained in pedigree certificates for the purpose of granting export refunds on female pure-bred breeding animals should, therefore, be brought into line with that Decision.

**(4)** Regulation (EEC) No 2342/92 should therefore be amended accordingly.

**(5)** The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
