Council Directive 2009/157/EC
of 30 November 2009
on pure-bred breeding animals of the bovine species
(codified version)
(Text with EEA relevance) (repealed)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 37 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee(2),
Whereas:
(1) Council Directive 77/504/EEC of 25 July 1977 on pure-bred breeding animals of the bovine species(3) has been substantially amended several times(4). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Directive should be codified.
(2) Cattle production occupies a very important place in Community agriculture, and satisfactory results depend to a large extent on the use of pure-bred breeding animals.
(3) Disparities between Member States as regards breeds and standards hinder intra-Community trade. If these disparities are to be removed, thereby increasing agricultural productivity in this sector, intra-Community trade in all pure-bred breeding animals should be liberalised.
(4) It should be possible for the Member States to insist on pedigree certificates drawn up in accordance with a Community procedure being presented.
(5) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Directive should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission(5).
(6) This Directive is without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States relating to the time-limits for transposition into national law of the Directives set out in Annex I, Part B,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Opinion of 20 October 2009 (not yet published in the Official Journal).
