Commission Decision
of 20 December 2000
on the procedure for attesting the conformity of construction products pursuant to Article 20(2) of Council Directive 89/106/EEC as regards expansion joints for road bridges
(notified under document number C(2000) 3694)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2001/19/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/106/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to construction products(1), as amended by Directive 93/68/EEC(2), and in particular Article 13(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The Commission is required to select, as between the two procedures under Article 13(3) of Directive 89/106/EEC for attesting the conformity of a product, the least onerous possible procedure consistent with safety. This means that it is necessary to decide whether, for a given product or family of products, the existence of a factory production control system under the responsibility of the manufacturer is a necessary and sufficient condition for an attestation of conformity, or whether, for reasons related to compliance with the criteria mentioned in Article 13(4), the intervention of an approved certification body is required.
(2) Article 13(4) requires that the procedure thus determined should be indicated in the mandates and in the technical specifications. It is therefore desirable to identify the products or family of products referred to in the technical specifications.
(3) The two procedures provided for in Article 13(3) are described in detail in Annex III to Directive 89/106/EEC. It is necessary therefore to specify clearly the methods by which the two procedures should be implemented, by the reference to Annex III, for each product or family of products, since Annex III gives preference to certain systems.
(4) The procedure referred to in Article 13(3)(a) corresponds to the systems set out in the first possibility, without continuous surveillance, and the second and third possibilities of Annex III(2)(ii). The procedure referred to in III (2)(i) Article 13(3)(a)(b) corresponds to the systems set out in Annex III(2)(i), and in the first possibility, with continuous surveillance, of Annex III(2)(ii).
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Construction,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The products and families of products set out in Annex I shall have their conformity attested by a procedure whereby, in addition to a factory production control system operated by the manufacturer, an approved certification body is involved in assessment and surveillance of the production control or of the product itself.
Article 2
The procedure for attesting conformity as set out in Annex II shall be indicated in mandates for guidelines for European technical approvals.
Article 3
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/493/EEC of 11 July 1991 laying down the health conditions for the production and placing on the market of fishery products (1), as last amended by Directive 97/79/EC (2), and in particular Article 11 thereof,
Whereas Commission Decision 95/328/EC of 25 July 1995 establishing health certification for fishery products from third countries which are not yet covered by a specific decision (3), as last amended by Decision 94/418/EC (4), is valid until 31 December 1998;
Whereas Commission Decision 97/296/EC (5), as last amended by Decision 98/711/EC (6), establishes the list of third countries from which the import of fishery products for human consumption is authorised; whereas Part II of that list contains the third countries which are not yet covered by a specific decision but which satisfy the requirements of Article 2(2) of Council Decision 95/408/EC (7), as amended by Decision 98/603/EC (8);
Whereas, under Decision 95/408/EC, that list is valid until 31 December 2000; whereas the date of validity of certification should therefore be amended to bring it into line with the date of validity of the provisional lists;
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
In Article 4 of Decision 95/328/EC the words 'to 31 December 1998` are replaced by 'to 31 December 2000`.
