Returned hides and skins22 consignments, 936 tonnes,
cattle hides & sheepskins returned from
China between 13 Sept and 19 Oct 2007
due to FMD outbreak in UK.
56
Problems with Article 15• Should returned POAOs always be returned to
origin?– Manufacturer c.f. Store– Lack of space– Gone out of business– Wasted journeys– Health risk
• TRACES cannot be accurately completed
57
Court judgement in Netherlands• A consignment of goat skins was exported from
Belgium to China. In China the importer didn't want to receive the consignment possibly for financial reasons and sent it back through Rotterdam.
• On arrival in Rotterdam the container was sealed with a different seal, because it was opened in China (said to be by Customs). Belgian colleagues agreed to accept the consignment back provided it met the requirements of article. 15. 1.a.i.
58
Problem case• A non-manipulation declaration was received, but
it wasn't clear if it was issued by the official authorities. This was discussed with the Belgian colleagues who agreed the declaration wasn't acceptable. The consignment was rejected.
• The importer from Belgium went to court and the judge decided that this was not a consignment as covered by article 15 and should not be treated according to the procedures mentioned in Dir. 97/78. In other words: this consignment didn't have to be checked at all, because there was no rejection by the official authorities and it was not been unloaded from the original container.
