Animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in and imports of poultry and hatching eggs. Codification

2009/0067(CNS)

PURPOSE: to codify Council Directive 90/539/EEC.

PROPOSED ACT: Council Directive

CONTENT: the purpose of this proposal is to undertake a codification of Council Directive 90/539/EEC of 15 October 1990 on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in, and imports from third countries of, poultry and hatching eggs. The new Directive will supersede the various acts incorporated in it. This proposal fully preserves the content of the acts being codified and hence does no more than bringing them together with only such formal amendments as are required by the codification exercise itself.
