Morning Andy,
wow, gorgeous! They did not only changed the wording in A180 but also
moved this out of the special provision section and implemented it in
the Limitations Chapter prior to the operator's restrictions !!!
This is really great news! Seems 2013 we'll get many issues solved we
faced in the past ;-)

>
> (derogations in detail as of Annex text)
> 4. Anatomical präparations such as plastination (including hides &
> skins of all animals)
>
> 5. Treated Insects or Spiders, such as drying (applies only for animal
> classes Insecta & Arachnida, not Invertebrates in general!)

> 6. Objects in natural history collections or samples for the promotion
> of science if they have been:
>
> a) preserved, in media such as ethanol formaldehyde solution
> (this includes tissue samples stored in absolute ethanol /
> RNA-later / DMSO or similar buffers)
>
> b) Samples embedded on micro-slides
>
> 7. Processed DNA-samples intended for _repositories_ to promote:
> a) biodiversity research
> b) ecology science
> c) medical science
> d) veterinary science (sic !) ;-)
> e) biology
>
> Explicit naming of these disciplines can be understood as help for

> recognise these scientific fields from the consignee's address.
> Therefore, consignments need to be addressed _to the institution
> _(named first in the consignee's address subsequently followed by the
> consignee's name)
>
> Stipulations are beyond what were dared asking for, e.g. derogation
> for samples freshly preserved in the field or explicit naming of
> research fields to ease import issues experienced with related samples
> (import of mouse DNA for clinical / medical research had apparently
> also been a big issue).

> I will post a short note once the amendments are enforced. This
> EC-legislation will be implemented in national legislation of member

> Schengen-Memberstate) or denial of import (partly Italy, Spain,
> depending on postal carrier & import gateway), and of course
> inspection costs (which from then on can be claimed).
