The Lebanese authorities have implemented in a satisfactory way the economic reform programme agreed with the International Monetary Fund under the Emergency Post-Conflict Assistance (EPCA).

Whereas the United States of America has forwarded, in accordance with Article 4 (3) of Directive 72/462/EEC, a list of establishments authorized to export to the Community;
Whereas the list of establishments in the United States of America approved for the import of fresh meat into the Community was drawn up originally in Commission Directive 87/257/EEC (3);
Whereas, however, to avoid interrupting existing patterns of trade abruptly, a list of establishments from which the Member States could continue to import fresh meat until 31 December 1987 was forwarded by the Commission to the Member States;
