PURPOSE: to codify Council Directive 90/426/EEC on animal health conditions governing the movement and import from third countries of equidae.

LEGISLATIVE ACT: Council Directive 2009/156/EC on animal health conditions governing the movement and importation from third countries of equidae (codified version).

CONTENT: the purpose of this Directive is to codify Council Directive 90/426/EEC on animal health conditions governing the movement and import from third countries of equidae. The new Directive supersedes the various acts incorporated in it. It 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.
