32As that provision, just like the recitals in the preamble to Directive 90/427, makes clear, official recognition of new associations or organisations maintaining or establishing studbooks is, as a general rule, in keeping with the objectives pursued by the Community legislation in the sphere of intra-Community trade in equidae. Indeed, the pursuit of the objectives of encouraging the breeding of registered equidae and of developing their marketing in intra-Community trade presupposes that there exists, in the various Member States of the Community, a sufficient number of organisations capable of maintaining the studbooks in which a growing number of equidae can be registered.
