English Translation

125 At the place of destination, the imported cattle, pigs and poultry are subject to police surveillance. To this end, they must be separated from native animals and separately maintained and cared for. Whereas the police authority may, after 14 days of early in the year, withdraw the separation of cattle, pigs and poultry if the animals prove unsuspected during the final veterinary examination; whereas meat imported must be prepared (peat, salted or smoked); whereas, where meat of pigs remains in the old kingdom, it shall be subject only to an official inspection on Trichinella; The importer must therefore notify the meat prior to the recovery of the local police authority of the place of destination, which must arrange for and monitor the execution of the trichinella show. The presentation of the meat to an inspection body for the meat entering the customs territory (Aluslandsfleischbeschaustelle) is not necessary. Wine is free of import restrictions. The above-mentioned border customs authorities are empowered to authorise the importation of cattle, pigs, poultry and noble fur animals without the special veterinary authorization otherwise required. I agree with the Minister of Finance that for all official acts of a veterinary police nature fees (border inspection fees, blood examination fees for the purchasers, fees for final veterinary examination) are not to be levied by the importers. In their communications to the police authorities of the place of destination, the border veterinarians have to expressly point out the freedom of fees. I request the heads of state of Tyrol and Carinthia to provide the responsible Chief Finance Officers and the aforementioned border customs offices with appropriate instructions.
