(Text with EEA relevance)
(2001/659/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/494/EEC of 26 June 1991 on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in and imports from third countries of fresh poultry meat(1), as last amended by Directive 1999/89/EC(2), and in particular Articles 11 and 12 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 94/984/EC of 20 December 1994 laying down animal health conditions and veterinary certificates for the importation of fresh poultry meat from certain third countries(3), as last amended by Decision 2001/598/EC(4), provides for veterinary certificates containing two different health attestations, model A and model B, their use depending on the Newcastle disease situation in the country concerned.
(2) Certain regions of Brazil are entitled to use the model A certificate for the exportation of poultry meat to the Community.
(3) Outbreaks of Newcastle disease have affected some non-commercial poultry flocks in the State of Goiás. Therefore this region of Brazil which is authorised to export fresh poultry meat to the Community is no longer free of Newcastle disease.
(4) An inspection carried out by the Commission's services in Brazil in October 2000 to assess the animal health situation and the additional information received from the Brazilian authorities have shown that their disease control measures for outbreaks of Newcastle disease are equivalent to those laid down in Council Directive 92/66/EEC of 14 July 1992 introducing Community measures for the control of Newcastle disease(5), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden.
(5) It is appropriate on this basis to continue to allow the importation of fresh poultry meat from this region. Health attestation model A should therefore be amended.
(6) It is appropriate to restrict the scope of this Decision to poultry species covered by Council Directive 71/118/EEC of 15 February 1971 on health problems affecting trade in fresh poultry meat(6), as last amended by Directive 97/79/EC(7), and, if necessary, to lay down the animal health conditions and veterinary certification for other poultry species in a separate Decision.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Annex II part 2 model A to Decision 94/984/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.
Article 2
This Decision shall apply to fresh poultry meat certified as from 1 September 2001.
Article 3
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Commission regulation (eec) No 2735/80
of 27 October 1980
amending Regulation (EEC) No 1391/78 laying down amended rules for the application of the system of premiums for the non-marketing of milk and milk products and for the conversion of dairy herds
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1078/77 of 17 May 1977 introducing a system of premiums for the non-marketing of milk and milk products and for the conversion of dairy herds [1], as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1365/80 [2], and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 4 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1391/78 [3], as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1799/79 [4], it was possible to lodge applications for the non-marketing premium only up to 15 September 1980, although by virtue of Regulation (EEC) No 1365/80 the system of conversion premiums has been extended up to the end of the 1980/81 milk marketing year;
Whereas Article 12a of Regulation (EEC) No 1391/78 provided beneficiaries of the conversion premium with the opportunity of opting subsequently for the non-marketing premium system; whereas, in that case, the situation of those concerned is adapted to that which would have been the case if they had applied at the outset for the non-marketing premium ;
Whereas, with regard to beneficiaries of the conversion premium who lodged their application as from 16 September 1980, it should be specified that, since the non-marketing premium system has been abolished with effect from that date, the option referred to above was not available to them since it would no longer have been possible for them to apply for the said premium at the outset;
Whereas, with regard to beneficiaries of the conversion premium who lodged their application before 16 September 1980, keeping the option available would be such as to circumvent the abolition of the nonmarketing system as from that date; whereas, in these circumstances, it should be laid down that, at the expiry of a transitional period, the said beneficiaries of the conversion premium can no longer exercise that opinion ;
Whereas the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :
Article 1
The following paragraph 3 is hereby added to Article 12a of Regulation (EEC) No 1391/78 :
"3. However, the declaration referred to in paragraph 1 may be presented to the competent authority only up to 31 December 1980 by beneficiaries of the conversion premium who lodged their application for the said premium before 16 September 1980."
