ANNEX


ANNEX  1. The flock-book must refer to a “hardy” breed which is not normally intended for intensive production. The breeder’s association or organisation must have demonstrated the lack of males registered in the main section of the flock-book and available for breeding in accordance with the breeding programme.
 2. The breeder’s association or organisation must have justified the necessity for an Annex to the flock-book for males in the context of the breeding programme.
 3. The conditions under which progeny of males entered in an Annex to the flock-book may enter the main section of the flock-book, must be laid down and be at least as stringent as those applicable to the respective females. To this end, the breeders’ association or organisation shall obtain the prior approval of those conditions by the competent authority approving that organisation in accordance with Commission Decision 90/254/EEC.
