Article 19
thereof;
Whereas there is an incidence in Norway of infectious anaemia in salmon; whereas this disease is causing large losses in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) farms affected by it and hence presents a serious threat to the health of the salmon in question;
Whereas some Member States have requested that the Commission, purusant to Article 18 (1) of Directive 91/496/EEC and Article 19 (1) of Directive 90/675/EEC, take the necessary measures to prevent the disease in question from entering the Community;

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Member States shall prohibit imports of salmon of the Salmo salar species originating in Norway, whether live or slaughtered in the non-eviscerated state.

(1)
In response to outbreaks of classical swine fever in certain Member States, Commission Decision 2003/526/EC of 18 July 2003 concerning protection measures relating to classical swine fever in Belgium, France, Germany and Luxembourg (2) was adopted. That Decision establishes certain additional disease control measures concerning classical swine fever.

This is also the case in the territories of the District Veterinary and Food Administrations of Levice, Nitra, Topoľčany, Nové Mesto nad Váhom and the district Púchov in Slovakia. Therefore, the measures adopted by Decision 2003/526/EC in relation with these areas should no longer apply.
(3)
In the light of the overall disease situation of classical swine fever in other areas of Germany, France and Slovakia, it is appropriate to extend the validity of Decision 2003/526/EC.

Whereas external Community transit operations involving the goods are made the subject of specific information with particular reference to the provisions of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1468/81 (3);
Whereas as a result of information supplied by the customs administration of the Federal Republic of Germany and also as a result of information compiled by the Commission, fraud involving the goods in the context of the external Community transit regime appears to have reached significant proportions;
Whereas such external Community transit operations present an exceptionally high risk of fraud which can pose a considerable threat to Community and national budgets as well as to concerned economic operators;
Whereas the fight against fraud in transit makes it necessary to adopt measures within a Community strategy to ensure greatest effectiveness;
Whereas the request of the customs administration of the Federal Republic of Germany is well-founded,
