THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the
Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin 1, and in
particular Article 7(2)(a) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 lays down specific hygiene rules for food of animal
origin. It provides, inter alia, requirements for the production and placing on the
market of meat from wild game. Food business operators are to ensure that such meat
is placed on the market only if it is produced in compliance with Section IV of Annex
III to that Regulation.
(2)
Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 also provides for the establishments of model
certificates accompanying consignments of products of animal origin.
(3)
Commission Regulation (EU) [SANCO/10550/2013] amending Annex III to
Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 lays down that unskinned large wild game may be sent
to a game handling establishment in another Member State only if, during transport to
that game-handling establishment, it is accompanied by a certificate ensuring
compliance with Section IV of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004.
(4)
In order to facilitate trade in unskinned large wild game, it is appropriate to provide a
model certificate for trade between Member States.
(5)
Because unskinned bodies of large wild game may carry pathogens causing diseases in
animals, the large game should not have been harvested in areas which for health
reasons are subject to prohibition or restriction affecting the species involved in
accordance with Union or national legislation. Trade in unskinned wild boar bodies
may only take place without prejudice to Commission Implementing Decision
2013/xxx/EU2.
(6)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of
Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Consignments of unskinned large wild game dispatched to Member States shall be
accompanied by a certificate in accordance with the model set out in the Annex.

with point4 respectively of Chapter II of Section IV of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No
853/2004.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in
the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
