Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/37 of 12 January 2022 amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/403 as regards model animal health certificates and model animal health/official certificates, for the entry into the Union and movements between Member States of consignments of certain species and categories of poultry and captive birds and germinal products thereof (Text with EEA relevance)

The Regulation amends two existing import certificates (hatching eggs of poultry other than ratites and hatching eggs of ratites). The amendment provides flexibility for the competent authority of the exporting country as regards the moment when the clinical inspection of the flock of origin must take place prior to the loading of the hatching eggs for dispatch to the EU.
The Regulation also provides for a new certificate for racing pigeons immediately released after entry into the EU. This new certificate facilitates the import of these type of captive birds when they are going to be immediately released after the entry into the EU.
