- (2) The Commission, in accordance with Article 29(3) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1012, carried out a public call for selection and designation of the European Union reference centre responsible for the scientific and technical contribution to the harmonisation and improvement of the methods in relation to purebred breeding animals of the bovine species.

- (4) The ‘Interbull Centre’ should therefore be designated as the European Union reference centre responsible for the scientific and technical contribution to the harmonisation and improvement of the methods of performance testing and genetic evaluation of purebred breeding animals of the bovine species. The designation is to be reviewed regularly in accordance with Article 29(3) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1012.
