inspection of scientific samples suspended - EC veterinarian legislation
amended<O:P></O:P></SPAN></P></DIV></DIV>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left" class=MsoNormal align=left><O:P> </O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Dear all,<BR><BR>pleasant news from European Animal Health
Authority SANCO: <BR><BR>on September 10th EC-Memberstates (finally) voted to
amend implementing regulation 1069/2009! Stipulations (likely effective in
March 2013) will derogate the following scientific samples from inspection:
<BR><BR><SPAN style="COLOR: #666666">(as of preamble text)</SPAN><BR>1.
Collection of samples: to current knowledge samples collected in the field
will not require a certificate (safe sourcing / safe origin) to allow
import<BR><BR>2. Transport (import into European Community): there will be no
discrimination between (fresh) samples (=first entry) vs. re-imported samples
(e.g. loans)<BR><BR>3. Use of samples: previously veterinarian authorities
could decree subsequent usage & "disposal" of samples<BR><BR><SPAN
style="COLOR: #666666">(derogations in detail as of Annex text)</SPAN><BR>4.
Anatomical präparations such as plastination (including hides & skins of
all animals)<BR><BR>5. Treated Insects or Spiders, such as drying (applies
only for animal classes Insecta & Arachnida, not Invertebrates in
general!)<BR><BR>6. Objects in natural history collections or samples for the
promotion of science if they have been:<BR><BR> a)
preserved, in media such as ethanol formaldehyde solution
<BR> (this includes tissue samples
stored in absolute ethanol / RNA-later / DMSO or similar
buffers)<BR> <BR>
b) Samples embedded on micro-slides<BR><BR>7. Processed DNA-samples intended
for <U>repositories</U> to promote:<BR> a) biodiversity
research<BR> b) ecology science<BR> c)
medical science<BR> d) veterinary science (sic !)
;-)<BR> e) biology<BR><BR>Explicit naming of these
disciplines can be understood as help for veterinaries working at the
respective border inspection posts to recognise these scientific fields from
the consignee's address. Therefore, consignments need to be addressed <U>to
the institution </U>(named first in the consignee's address subsequently
followed by the consignee's name)<BR><BR>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).<BR><BR>I will post a short note once the
amendments are enforced. This EC-legislation will be implemented in national
legislation of member states again, but hopefully will supersede import
licences (UK & Switzerland, the latter adapting EC-legislation as
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).<BR><BR>Special thanks to Andy Bentley for his
input & support!<BR><BR>Kind
