Chapters 11 and 12 of that Annex set out, respectively, model animal health certificates for movements between Member States of cervid animals not intended for slaughter (model ‘CER-INTRA-X’), and of cervid animals intended for slaughter (model ‘CER-INTRA-Y’). ---|--- (3) | Annexes VIII and IX to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) were recently amended by Commission Regulation (EU) 2022/2246 (4) to restrict movements of cervid animals in conjunction with human activity between Norway which is currently affected by outbreaks of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in those animals, as well as those Member States which are also currently affected by outbreaks of CWD, and the other Member States unaffected by CWD. This movement restriction is necessary to prevent the spread of CWD in the Union. Accordingly, models ‘CER-INTRA-X’ and ‘CER-INTRA-Y’ set out in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/403 should be amended in order to reflect that movement restriction. ---|--- (4) | Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/403 should therefore be amended accordingly. ---|--- (5) | The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed, ---|--- HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: Article 1 Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/403 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
