With regard to sheepmeat products it is difficult to establish, at the moment of their submission for import to the customs authorities, whether these products origi- nate from domestic sheep or other than domestic sheep. It is, therefore, appropriate to provide that the document of origin contains a clarification to this end.

This Regulation should, therefore, be applicable retroactively as from 1 January 2002.
