3 DEFINITIES

Begrip Definitie

Groot-Brittannië Dit is het complete eiland dat bestaat uit de landen Engeland, Schotland en Wales. Ook de kleinere eilanden die direct om het hoofdeiland heen liggen zoals de Orkneys Islands, de Shetland Islands en het eiland Wight worden bij Groot-Brittannië gerekend. De Kanaaleilanden en het Isle of Man horen niet bij Groot-Brittannië.

Verenigd Koninkrijk Het Verenigd Koninkrijk bestaat uit de landen van Groot-Brittannië (Engeland, Schotland en Wales) plus Noord-Ierland. De volledige naam in het Engels is The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Kanaaleilanden en Isle of

Man De Kanaaleilanden (Channel Islands) horen officieel niet bij Groot-

Brittannië of het Verenigd Koninkrijk. De eilanden Jersey, Guernsey, Herm, Alderney en Sark vormen een zogeheten ‘crown dependency’ (autonome bezitting van de Britse kroon). Dit geldt ook voor het Isle of Man in de Ierse Zee. Het staatshoofd van de Kanaaleilanden en het eiland Man is de Britse koningin, maar dan in haar hoedanigheid van respectievelijk de Hertogin van Normandië en de Lord of Mann.

Gehakt (gehakt vlees) Vlees zonder been, dat in kleine stukken is gehakt en minder dan 1 % zout bevat. Zodra kruiderijen of additieven zijn toegevoegd betreft het een vleesbereiding en moet het desbetreffende certificaat worden gebruikt.

4 WERKWIJZE

De export van vers schapen- en geitenvlees naar Groot-Brittannië is toegestaan.

Om te kunnen exporteren naar Groot-Brittannië moeten de betrokken bedrijven een goedgekeurd GB- protocol vers schapen- en geitenvlees hebben.

Dit goedgekeurde GB-Protocol moet in e-CertNL geregistreerd worden. Format van GB protocol vers schapen- en geitenvlees staat vast en is te vinden op GB protocol vers schapen- en geitenvlees . Dit certificaat kan worden gebruikt voor export van vers schapen-en geitenvlees wat valt onder de HS- codes: 02.01, 02.02, 02.06, 05.04 of 15.02.

Certificaat: zie bijlage.

4.1 Algemeen:

• Raadpleeg vooraf de instructie Tijdelijke Maatregelen Derde Landen (TMDL-01) op mogelijke

exportbeperkingen. Als in de TMDL-01 informatie staat die in strijd is met een landeninstructie dan is de informatie vermeld in de TMDL-01 leidend.

• Het certificaat is beschikbaar in het systeem e-CertNL.

• Het certificaat dient niet te worden geprint op waardepapier, maar op blanco papier.

(3)

• Groot-Brittannië ziet de EU als derde land. Als in de verklaringen gesproken wordt over “derde land”

wordt hiermee de derde landen en de EU bedoeld. In de verklaringen wordt verwezen naar importregelgeving waarin lijsten van derde landen zijn opgenomen. Voor deze regelgeving heeft Groot-Brittannië op hun eigen website lijsten toegevoegd van EU-landen per product. Export of animals and animal products to the UK - data.gov.uk

• Als er in een verklaring (voetnoot) verwezen wordt naar Vo (EU) nr. 206/2010 (roodvlees), kan voor de codes van EU-landen gekeken worden op de website van GB onder

“Certification requirements for fresh meat of domestic and wild ungulates from EU and EFTA states”

en voor overige landen: Commission Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 of 12 March 2010 laying down lists of third countries, territories or parts thereof authorised for the introduction into the European Union of certain animals and fresh meat and the veterinary certification requirements (Text with EEA relevance) (legislation.gov.uk)

• Het vlees afkomstig uit Nederlandse slachthuizen, moet verderop in de keten gekanaliseerd worden door middel van geleidebiljetten.

• De dekking van de EU overstijgende eisen voor vlees afkomstig uit een andere EU-lidstaat dan Nederland dient door middel van een pre-exportcertificaat onderbouwd te worden.

• Voor dieren afkomstig uit een andere EU-lidstaat dan Nederland, dient het slachthuis te

controleren of de dieren langer dan 3 maanden in Nederland verbleven hebben. Indien niet kan het traces certificaat gebruikt worden als onderbouwing voor de gestelde dierziekte-eisen.

• Als het vlees of de dieren afkomstig zijn uit een derde land, zal belanghebbende dit moeten aantonen met een importcertificaat.

• Er mag nooit handmatig iets op het certificaat worden ingevuld, dus ook niet op stippellijntjes. Alles waarnaar bij de stippellijntjes gevraagd wordt, is terug te vinden op het voorblad (dit staat ook bij de verklaringen achter de stippellijntjes aangegeven).

4.2 Invuleisen van het certificaat

• Origine dier gemest = het land waar het dier gemest is (minstens de laatste 3 maanden voor slacht heeft verbleven).

• Origine vlees = het land waar het dier geslacht is;

• Origine product = het land waar de laatste handeling aan het te exporteren product heeft plaatsgevonden (gelabeld is met het identificatiemerk).

• Er moet aangegeven worden of het om karkassen, vers vlees of gehakt gaat.

• Bij de datum waarop de dieren in het land van slachten zijn binnengekomen hoeft voor dieren die in het land van slachten zijn geboren of hier langer dan 3 maanden verblijven geen datum ingevuld te worden. Bij alle andere dieren moet de datum worden ingevuld waarop ze in het land van slachten zijn binnengebracht. E-CertNL heeft deze data nodig om bij verklaring 2.2 te kunnen uitrekenen welke optie doorgestreept moet worden. Op orderregelniveau moeten deze data worden ingevuld.

• De slachtdata moeten worden ingevuld.

• Bij origines moet de ISO-code en regio (in geval van regionalisatie) worden ingevuld volgens de lijst van GB. De ISO-code en regiocode moeten als volgt worden ingevuld: Twee letterige ISO-code in hoofdletters gevolgd door een streepje en het cijfer (zonder spaties). Bij meerdere ISO-codes en regio de codes scheiden dmv een komma en spatie. Voorbeeld: DE-0, BE-1, DK-0.

• Plaats van vertrek = plaats van verzending

Plaats van laden = de naam van de plaats en bedrijf/(lucht)haven waar de producten in het vervoermiddel worden geladen voor de reis naar GB.
