COMMISSION DECISION
of 14 July 1987
on the list of establishments in the United Mexican States approved for the purpose of importing fresh meat into the Community
(87/424/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine animals and swine and fresh meat from third countries (1), as last amended by Directive 87/64/EEC (2), and in particular Articles 4 (1) and 18 (1) thereof,
Whereas establishments in third countries cannot be authorized to export fresh meat to the Community unless they satisfy the general and special conditions laid down in Directive 72/462/EEC;
Whereas on the basis of two inspections in 1983 and 1984 no establishments were judged satisfactory and Commission Decision 83/470/EEC (3) prohibited Member States, on a Community basis, from importing fresh meat from establishments in Mexico, while still allowing those Member States whose national legislation so permitted not to interrupt existing trade flows with the establishments proposed by the Mexican authorities, for a period of seven months;
Whereas a further inspection carried out pursuant to Article 5 of Directive 72/462/EEC and Article 2 (1) of Commission Decision 86/474/EEC of 11 September 1986 on the implementation of the on-the-spot inspections to be carried out in respect of the importation of bovine animals and swine and fresh meat from non-member countries (4) has shown that the standard of hygiene in one establishment has been raised and can thus be regarded as satisfactory;
Whereas this establishment can, in these circumstances, be included in a list of establishments authorized to export to the Community and whereas therefore, Decision 83/470/EEC should be repealed;
Whereas imports of fresh meat from establishments appearing in the Annex remains subject to provisions laid down elsewhere and to the general provisions of the Treaty; whereas in particular, imports from third countries and dispatch to other Member States of certain categories of meat, such as meat containing residues of certain substances, are covered by harmonized Community rules, which are not yet fully implemented;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
1. The establishment in Mexico appearing in the Annex is hereby approved for the import of fresh meat into the Community in accordance with the said Annex.
2. Imports from establishments listed in the Annex shall remain subject to the Community veterinary provisions laid down elsewhere.
Article 2
Member States shall prohibit imports of fresh meat coming from establishments not appearing in the Annex.
Article 3
Decision 83/470/EEC is hereby repealed.

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE of 14 October 1991 amending Directive 82/606/EEC relating to the organization by the Member States of surveys on the earnings of permanent and seasonal workers employed in agriculture (91/534/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 213 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Directive 82/606/EEC (1), as last amended by Directive 88/562/EEC (2), lays down that the Member States shall carry out during 1990 a survey on the earnings of permanent and seasonal workers employed in agriculture;
Whereas the experience gained from the 1984, 1986 and 1988 surveys shows that the periodicity of the said surveys laid down in the said Directive is not the most appropriate,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
Article 1
Article 1 (1) of Directive 82/606/EEC shall be replaced by the following text:
'1. The Member States shall carry out in 1984, and every two years thereafter, a survey on the actual earnings of male and female permanent full-time and/or seasonal workers employed in agriculture.
From 1988 onwards, the surveys shall be conducted every three years. However, Ireland may carry out the 1991 survey in 1992.
The categories of workers to be covered by this survey in each Member State are set out in Annex I.'

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3017/93 of 29 October 1993 extending Regulation (EEC) No 695/93 adopting safeguard measures applicable to the placing in free circulation of fishery products landed in the Community by fishing vessels from third countries
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 of 17 December 1992 on the common organization of the market in fishery and aquaculture products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1891/93 (2), and in particular Article 24 (2) thereof,
Whereas the Commission, acting in accordance with Article 24 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92, adopted, by Regulation (EEC) No 695/93 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2622/93 (4), safeguard measures applicable to the placing in free circulation of fishery products landed in the Community by fishing vessels from third countries; whereas these measures were justified by the serious disturbances on the Community market for a number of fishery products caused by the volume of direct landings of those products and the difficulties of disposing of the Community production which the situation caused;
Whereas the information available to the Commission suggests that the Community market equilibrium for the products concerned continues to be precarious; whereas in that context a renewed increase in the volume of direct landings could cause serious disturbances likely to jeopardize the objectives of Article 39 of the EEC Treaty;
Whereas it is necessary, therefore, to extend the application of Regulation (EEC) No 695/93,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Regulation (EEC) No 695/93 is hereby amended as follows: in Article 5, '31 October 1993' is replaced '31 December 1993'.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 November 1993.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
