Whereas:
(1)
Following the outbreak of avian influenza, caused by a highly pathogenic H5N1 virus strain, in south-eastern Asia starting in December 2003, the Commission adopted several protection measures in relation to avian influenza. Those measures include in particular Commission Decision 2005/692/EC of 6 October 2005 concerning certain protection measures in relation to avian influenza in several third countries (3).
(2)
On 25 November 2006, South Korea confirmed an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza caused by the H5N1 strain in a poultry farm in the south of the country.
(3)
Under current Community legislation, South Korea is only authorised to export to the Community raw pet food and unprocessed feed material containing any parts of poultry, eggs for human consumption and non-treated game trophies from any birds.
(4)
In view of the animal health risk of the introduction of highly pathogenic avian influenza into the Community, it is appropriate as an immediate measure to suspend imports of these products from South Korea.
(5)
Decision 2005/692/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6)
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

(5) Pending the signature and the entry into force of the new agreement, quantitative limits for the year 2004 should be established; these limits should be reviewed in the light of accession of new Member States to the Community on 1 May 2004.
(6) Given that the tax of EUR 30/tonne on exports of ferrous scrap applied as of 1 January 2003 has not been lifted nor diminished, it is appropriate to set the quantitative limits for the year 2004 at the same level as for the year 2003,
