Article 4U.K.
1.Until 31 December 1992, Member States in which all collection centres contain only animals which have not been vaccinated against Aujeszky's disease giving a negative reaction to the serum neutralization test, or to the ELISA test for Aujeszky's disease, in accordance with the provisions of this Directive:
may refuse admission to their territory of semen from collection centres which do not have that status,
may not prohibit the admission of semen from boars which have been vaccinated in the collection centre with the GI deleted vaccine, provided that:
such vaccination has only been carried out on boars that were serum-negative with regard to the virus of Anjeszky's disease,
serological examinations carried out at the earliest three weeks after vaccination of such boars do not reveal the presence of antibodies induced by the disease virus.
In this event a sample of semen from each daily collection intended for trade may be subjected to a virus isolation test in an approved laboratory in the Member State of destination.
The provisions of this paragraph shall not come into effect until such time as the Commission, acting in accordance with Article 18, not later than 1 July 1991, has laid down the protocols for the tests to be used for these examinations following the opinion of the Scientific Veterinary Committee, in particular in connection with the frequency of the tests to be carried out in the centre, the virus isolation tests and the effectiveness and safety of the GI deleted vaccine.
2.In accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 18, it may be decided to extend the provisions of paragraph 1 to part of the territory of a Member State if all the collection centres in that part of the territory contain only animals giving a negative reaction to the serum neutralization test or the ELISA test for Aujeszky's disease.
3.The Council shall, before 31 December 1992, review this Article on the basis of a report from the Commission, accompanied by any proposals.
