Trade in unprocessed manure of species other than poultry or equidae is prohibited, except for manure:
from an area which is not subject to restrictions by virtue of a serious transmissible disease, and
intended for application, under the supervision of the competent authorities, to land forming part of a single holding located on both sides of the border of two Member States.
However, the competent authority may grant specific approval for the introduction on to its territory of:
manure intended for processing in a technical plant or a biogas plant or in a composting plant approved by the competent authority in accordance with this Regulation with a view to the manufacture of the products referred to under Section II below. The competent authority must take account of the origin of the manure when approving such plants; or
manure intended for applying to land on a holding. Such trade can only occur with the consent of the competent authorities of both the Member States of origin and destination. When considering giving consent, the competent authorities must have particular regard to the origin of the manure, its destination and animal health and safety considerations.
A health certificate conforming to a model laid down under the procedure referred to in Article 33(2) must accompany the manure in such cases.
the manure must originate in an area which is not subject to restrictions by virtue of Newcastle disease or avian influenza;
in addition, unprocessed manure from poultry flocks vaccinated against Newcastle disease must not be dispatched to a region which has obtained Newcastle disease non-vaccinating status pursuant to Article 15(2) of Directive 90/539/EEC(1); and
a health certificate conforming to a model laid down under the procedure referred to in Article 33(2) must accompany the manure.
