Having regard to Council Directive 89/556/EEC of 25 September 1989 on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in and imports from third countries of embryos of domestic animals of the bovine species(3), and in particular Article 5(3) thereof,

Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2001/106/EC of 24 January 2001 establishing a model for the lists of entities approved by Member States in accordance with various provisions of Community veterinary legislation, and the rules applying to the transmission of these lists to the Commission(8), has been substantially amended several times(9). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Decision should be codified.
(2) Intra-Community trade of bovine, porcine, ovine, caprine and equine animals is permitted from assembly centres approved by the competent authorities of the Member State where they are located.
(3) Intra-Community trade of semen of domestic animals of the bovine and porcine species is permitted from centres approved by the competent authorities of the Member State where they are located.

(5) Each Member State is to send to the Commission and to the other Member States the lists of assembly centres, semen collection centres and embryo collection teams it has approved on its territory.
(6) It is necessary to harmonise the model of those lists and the way they are transmitted in order to set up a simple access to up-to-date lists for the Community.
(7) It is convenient and appropriate to use that harmonised model for the approved quarantine facilities or centres for imported birds other than poultry.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
