      <br>
      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 !!!<br>
      <br>
      This is really great news!&nbsp; Seems 2013 we'll get many issues
      solved we faced in the past ;-)<br>

        <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 &amp; "disposal" of samples<br>
          <br>
          <span style="color:#666666">(derogations in detail as of Annex
            text)</span><br>
          4. Anatomical pr&auml;parations such as plastination (including
          hides &amp; skins of all animals)<br>
          <br>
          5. Treated Insects or Spiders, such as drying (applies only
          for animal classes Insecta &amp; 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>
          &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; a) preserved, in media such as ethanol formaldehyde
          solution <br>
          &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (this includes tissue samples stored in absolute
          ethanol / RNA-later / DMSO or similar buffers)<br>
          &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>
          &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; b) Samples embedded on micro-slides<br>
          <br>
          7. Processed DNA-samples intended for <u>repositories</u> to
          promote:<br>
          &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; a) biodiversity research<br>
          &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; b) ecology science<br>
          &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; c) medical science<br>
          &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; d) veterinary science (sic !) ;-)<br>
          &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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 &amp; Switzerland, the latter
          adapting EC-legislation as Schengen-Memberstate) or denial of
          import (partly Italy, Spain, depending on postal carrier &amp;
          import gateway), and of course inspection costs (which from
          then on can be claimed).<br>
          <br>
          Special thanks to Andy Bentley for his input &amp; support!<br>
          <br>
          Kind regards<br>
          Dirk<br>
