Import conditions: Live animals and fresh meat from third countries

This procedure establishes the list of non-EU countries and territories permitted to export certain live animals and fresh meat to the European Union. It defines the specific animal health and veterinary certification standards that must be met to ensure that imports do not introduce diseases or risks to public health.

This affects international livestock exporters, meat producers, and veterinary authorities in third countries, as well as EU importers and food safety inspectors.
