COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) .../...  
amending Annexes III, V, VII and IX to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European 
Parliament and of the Council as regards genotyping of positive TSE cases in goats, the 
determination of age in ovine and caprine animals, the measures applicable in a herd or 
flock with atypical scrapie and the conditions for imports of products of bovine, ovine 
and caprine origin   EN 1  EN ANNEX  
Annexes III, V, VII and IX to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 are amended as follows:  
(1) Annex III  is amended as follows:  
(a) in Chapter A, in Part II, point 8 is replaced by the following:  
‘8.  Genotyping  
8.1. The prion protein genotype for the codons 136, 154 and 171 shall be 
determined for each positive TSE case in sheep. TSE cases found in sheep of 
genotypes which encode ala nine (A) on both alleles at codon 136, arginine 
(R) on both alleles at codon 154 and arginine (R) on both alleles at codon 171 
shall immediately be reported to the Commission. Where the positive TSE 
case is an atypical scrapie case the prion protein genoty pe for the codon 141 
shall also be determined.  
8.2. The prion protein genotype for the codons 146 and 222 shall be determined 
for each positive TSE case in goats. TSE cases found in goats of genotypes 
which encode serine (S) or aspartic acid (D) on at leas t one allele at codon 
146 and/or lysine (K) on at least one allele at codon 222, shall immediately be 
reported to the Commission.’  
(b) in Chapter B, in Part I.A., point 8 is replaced by the following:  
‘8.  The genotype, and, where possible, the breed, of e ach ovine and caprine 
animal found positive to TSE and sampled in accordance with Chapter A, 
Part II, point 8 .’ 
 
(2) In Annex V, point 1(b) is replaced by the following:  
‘(b)  as regards ovine and caprine animals: the skull, including the brain and eyes, 
and the spinal cord of animals aged over 12 months or which have a 
permanent incisor erupted through the gum.’  
 
(3) In Annex VII, Chapter B  is amended as follows:  
 
(a) point 2.2.3 is deleted.  
 
(b) in point 3.5, sub -point (d) is replaced by the following:  
‘(d)  for a period of two years from the date when all the measures referred to in 
point 2.2.1, point 2.2.2(b), or point 2.2.2(c) have been completed, provided 
that no TSE case other than atypical scrapie is detected during this two -year 
period.’  
 
(c) point  4.6 is replaced by the following:  
‘4.6.  The restrictions set out in points 4.1 to 4.5 shall apply for a period of two 
years following the detection of the last TSE case, other than atypical scrapie, 
on the holdings where option 3 laid down in point 2.2.2 (d) has been 
implemented.’  EN 2  EN  
(4) In Annex IX, in Chapter C, in Section C , in point 1, the following sub -points are  
added : 
‘(e)  if the animals, from which the products of bovine, ovine and caprine animal 
origin were derived, originate from a country or regi on classified in 
accordance with Decision 2007/453/EC as a country or region posing an 
undetermined BSE risk, the animals have not been fed with meat -and-bone 
meal or greaves, as defined in the OIE Terrestrial Animal Health Code;  
(f)  if the animals, from which the products of bovine, ovine and caprine animal 
origin were derived, originate from a country or region classified in 
accordance with Decision 2007/453/EC as a country or region posing an 
undetermined BSE risk, the products were produced and handled  in a manner 
which ensures that they did not contain and were not contaminated with 
nervous and lymphatic tissues exposed during the deboning process.’
