Health problems: intra-Community trade in bovine animals and swine (amend. Directive 64/432/EEC)

The European Parliament approved its resolution on the Commission's proposal, drafted by Mr. GRAEFE zu BARINGDORF (GUE/EFA, D), subject to two amendments. The first amendment involved the addition of two recitals: one of these refers to the putting in place of a proper system of spot checks, inspections and controls which ensure the efficient implementation of these regulations, while the second states that the Commission is to monitor the proper operation of this directive to ensure that Member States have fully complied with the regulations. The second amendment relates to the adoption of transitional measures which would be applicable for two years, in contrast to the three years in the Commission's proposal.�
