(notified under document number C(2003) 2561)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2003/533/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine, ovine and caprine animals and swine, fresh meat products from third countries(1), as last amended by Regulation 1452/2001/EC(2), and in particular Articles 14, 15 and 16 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The animal health conditions and veterinary certification for imports of fresh meat from certain European countries are laid down in Commission Decision 98/371/EC(3), as last amended by Decision 2002/940/EC(4).
(2) Imports of fresh meat for human consumption of domestic animals of the porcine species from Estonia and Lithuania were not authorised due to animal health reasons, concerning in particular the control of classical swine fever.
(3) The Estonian and Lithuanian competent veterinary authorities have submitted a request to be authorised to export pig meat to the Community and have supported their request with information concerning the health status of the swine in Estonia and Lithuania and their control of classical swine fever.
(4) In February 2003 Commission veterinary missions were carried out to assess the animal health situation in Estonia and in Lithuania.
(5) Based on the reports of the missions and the further information provided by the Estonian and Lithuanian competent veterinary authorities, it appears that the health status of the swine in Estonia and Lithuania in relation to classical swine fever is satisfactory.
(6) Therefore, it is appropriate to authorise Estonia and Lithuania to export pig meat to the Community, subject to certain conditions in relation to the use of catering waste for the feeding to swine. The Estonian and Lithuanian competent veterinary authorities have committed themselves that, for the purpose of exporting pig meat, a list of pig holdings kept under regular veterinary supervisions and where appropriate controls are carried out to exclude any use of catering waste for feeding to pigs will be established.
(7) Decision 98/371/EC should be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
