Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 94/85/EC(3), as last amended by Decision 2001/733/EC(4), established a list of third countries from which importation of fresh poultry meat is authorised.

(3) An inspection carried out by the Commission in Botswana in May 2001 has shown that sufficiently well structured and organised veterinary services are in place in Botswana regarding the animal health status for ratites. However, the legislation in Botswana did not fully include the requirement for official notification of avian influenza.
(4) Botswana has now amended its legislation to ensure that avian influenza is to be notified to the competent authority.
(5) Commission Decision 94/85/EC should therefore be amended to include Botswana in the list in the Annex thereto. For the sake of clarity the Annex should be replaced in its entirety.
(6) The Annex to Decision 94/85/EC must clearly state that Botswana is authorised for ratite meat only.
(7) Annex I to Decision 2000/609/EC should also be amended to include Botswana in the list of authorised countries that are allowed to export farmed ratite meat into the European Union. For the sake of clarity the Annex should be replaced in its entirety.
(8) Due to the health status of Botswana in regard to Newcastle disease, Annex I to Decision 2000/609/EC should clearly specify that Model Certificate "B" must be used for imports of farmed ratite meat from Botswana.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
