3.2. Foot and mouth disease strains A, O or C U.K.

Where fresh meat originates in a foot and mouth free zone where vaccination against foot and mouth disease is not practised, but that zone is in a third country or territory in which vaccination against foot and mouth disease strains A, O or C is practised, and where the competent authorities of the third country or territory have provided additional guarantees on conditions specific for the third country or territory or zone and which support the absence of foot and mouth disease virus in the fresh meat from the zone, the competent authorities of the third country or territory of origin must provide the following supplementary information:

(a)

guarantees that the surveillance programme for foot and mouth disease applicable for the free zone, demonstrating the absence of foot and mouth disease, is carried out and controlled by the competent authorities of the third country or territory of origin;

(b)

guarantees on the application of the animal health requirements set out in points (b) and (c) of Point 1.
