Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 98/371/EC(3), as last amended by Decision 2003/742/EC(4), governs animal health conditions and veterinary certification for imports of fresh meat from certain European countries.

(7) For the purpose of exporting pigmeat, Slovenia has undertaken to draw up a list of pig holdings subject to regular veterinary supervisions and appropriate controls to exclude any use of catering waste for feeding to swine.
(8) Decision 98/371/EC should be amended accordingly.
