(1) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/403 (3) establishes model certificates, in the form of animal health certificates, animal health/official certificates and declarations for, among others, movements between Member States of consignments of certain categories of terrestrial animals and germinal products thereof. Those consignments include those falling within the scope of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/688 (4).

(2) Chapters 1 (model ‘BOV-INTRA-X’), 5 (model ‘OV/CAP-INTRA-X’), 9 (model ‘CAM-INTRA-X’), 11 (model ‘CER-INTRA-X’) and 13 (model ‘OTHER-UNGULATES-INTRA-X’) of Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/403 set out model animal health certificates for movements between Member States of certain categories of ungulates susceptible to infection with epizootic haemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV). The amendments to Articles 10, 15, 23, 26 and 29 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/688 by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/3160 (5) concerning additional requirements related to infection with EHDV should be reflected in those model certificates accordingly.

(3) Chapters 30 (model ‘OV/CAP-SEM-A-INTRA’) and 33 (model ‘OV/CAP-OOCYTES-EMB-A-INTRA) of Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/403 set out model animal health certificates for movements between Member States of semen, oocytes and embryos of ovine and caprine animals collected or produced after 20 April 2021. The amendments to Chapter A, Section A, points 4.2(d) and (e), of Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6) by Commission Regulation (EU) 2024/887 (7) concerning caprine animals genetically resistant to classical scrapie strains should be reflected in point II.1.2.4 and point II.2 of those model certificates accordingly.

(4) In the interests of clarity and consistency of Union rules, the model certificates set out in Chapters 1, 5, 9, 11, 13, 30 and 33 of Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/403 should be updated, including an update of notes and structural elements, when incorporating the amendments described in the preceding recitals. Those model certificates should therefore be replaced by the updated model certificates set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

(5) Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/403 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
