Prior to the adoption by the Council of Directive 98/99/EC, Directive 64/432/EEC had been amended and updated by Council Directive 97/12/EC with regard to the articles and Annexes B, C, D (Chapter II) and E, and by Directive 98/46/EC with regard to Annexes A, D (Chapter I) and F. The provisions of Directive 64/432/EEC as amended are applicable as from 1 July 1999 and implementation problems have been encountered that require transitional measures to avoid disturbances in trade in live animals of the bovine and porcine species. It is the purpose of this proposal to provide for a legal basis to adopt transitional measures by the Commission in accordance with Standing Veterinary Committee procedures, to introduce certain transitional measures as considered necessary by Member States to continue trade in live bovine animals and to align certain provisions of that directive so as to ensure coherence with Community law. It is furthermore the purpose to modify this Directive in the light of Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission taking into account that certain provisions have implications both for the protection of public health and animal health. 2 99/0217 (COD) Proposal for a EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND COUNCIL DIRECTIVE of amending Directive 64/432/EEC on health problems affecting intra-Community trade in bovine animals and swine THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 37 and 152 thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee, Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions, Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty, (1) Whereas Directive 64/432/EEC1 affecting intra-Community trade in bovine animals and swine, as last amended by Directive 98/99/EC2, has been amended and updated by Council Directive 97/12/EC3 with regard to the articles and Annexes B, C, D (Chapter II) and E, and by Directive 98/46/EC4 with regard to Annexes A, D (Chapter I) and F; problems health on (2) Whereas the provisions of Directive 64/432/EEC as amended are applicable as from 1 July 1999; whereas implementation problems have been encountered that require transitional measures to avoid disturbances in trade in live animals of the bovine and porcine species; (3) Whereas moreover Directive 64/432/EEC, as amended and updated by Council Directive 97/12/EC and Council Regulation (EC) N° 820/975 establishing a system for the identification and registration of bovine animals and regarding the labelling of beef and beef products refer to the creation of 1 2 3 4 5 OJ 121, 29. 7. 1964, p. 1977/64.
