SECTION B U.K. Imports from a country or a region with a negligible BSE risk
Imports of products of bovine, ovine and caprine animal origin referred to in Section A from a country or a region with a negligible BSE risk shall be subject to the presentation of an animal health certificate attesting that:
(a)
the country or region is classified in accordance with [this Regulation] as a country or region posing a negligible BSE risk;
(b)
the animals from which the products of bovine, ovine and caprine animal origin were derived passed ante mortem and post mortem inspections;
(c)
the products of bovine, ovine and caprine animal origin do not contain and are not derived from specified risk material as defined in point 1 of Annex V to this Regulation;
(d)
if the animals, from which the products of bovine animal origin were derived, originate from a country or region classified in accordance with [this Regulation] as a country or region posing a controlled or an undetermined BSE risk, by way of derogation from point (c) of this Section, carcasses, half carcasses or half carcasses cut into no more than three wholesale cuts, and quarters containing no specified risk material other than the vertebral column, including dorsal root ganglia, may be imported. In the case of such imports, the carcasses or wholesale cuts of carcasses of bovine animals containing a vertebral column which is defined as specified risk material in accordance with point 1 of Annex V to this Regulation shall be identified by a clearly visible red stripe on the label referred to in Article 13 or 15 of Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000. Furthermore, specific information on the number of bovine carcasses or wholesale cuts of carcasses, from which the removal of the vertebral column is required, shall be added to the Common Veterinary Entry Document (CVED) [made available or published for the time being by the appropriate authority];
(e)
the products of bovine, ovine and caprine animal origin do not contain and are not derived from mechanically separated meat obtained from bones of bovine, ovine or caprine animals, except if the animals, from which the products of bovine, ovine and caprine animal origin are derived, were born, continuously reared and slaughtered in a country or region classified in accordance with [this Regulation] as a country or region posing a negligible BSE risk in which there has been no BSE indigenous cases;
(f)
the animals from which the products of bovine, ovine and caprine animal origin were derived have not been slaughtered after stunning by means of gas injected into the cranial cavity or killed by the same method or slaughtered by laceration after stunning of central nervous tissue by means of an elongated rod-shaped instrument introduced into the cranial cavity, except if the animals from which the products of bovine, ovine and caprine animal origin are derived, were born, continuously reared and slaughtered in a country or region classified in accordance with [this Regulation] as a country or region posing a negligible BSE risk;
(g)
if the animals, from which the products of bovine, ovine and caprine animal origin were derived, originate from a country or region classified in accordance with [this Regulation] as a country or region posing an undetermined BSE risk, the animals have not been fed with meat-and-bone meal or greaves, as defined in the OIE Terrestrial Animal Health Code;
(h)
if the animals, from which the products of bovine, ovine and caprine animal origin were derived, originate from a country or region classified in accordance with [this Regulation] as a country or region posing an undetermined BSE risk, the products were produced and handled in a manner which ensures that they did not contain and were not contaminated with nervous and lymphatic tissues exposed during the deboning process.
