of 16 February 1994
drawing up a list of third countries from which the Member States authorize imports of fresh
poultrymeat (SIC! poultry meat)
(94/85/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the T reaty establishing the EuropeanCommunity,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/494/EEC of 26 June
1991 on animal health conditions governing intra-Com-
munity trade in and imports from third countries of fresh
poultrymeat (SIC! poultry meat) (
1), as amended by Direc-
tive 92/116/EEC (2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas the countries listed in the Annex to this Decision
which traditionally supply the Member States, have been
requested to show, through the provision of written assur-ances supported by appropriate documentation or as a re-
sult of on-the-spot inspections, that they satisfy the re-
quirements of the Community;
Whereas these assurances shall be examined by the Stand-
ing Veterinary Committee;
Whereas this list applies without prejudice to Commission
Decision 93/342/EEC (
3) which laid down the criteria to
classify third countries with regard to avian influenza and
Newcastle disease;
Whereas it may also be necessary in certain cases to spec-
ify the parts of countries from which imports will be auth-
orized;
Whereas this list can be amended at any time to take into
account new information or new situations; whereas the
listing of any country shall be reviewed at any time when
further information, in particular resulting from on-the-
spot inspections, indicates that conditions in the third
country concerned may have changed or that previously
received information was incomplete, inexact or inaccurate;

IIWhereas, although the list of third countries forms the
basis of the Community arrangements applicable to im-
ports from third countries laid down in Directive
91/494/EEC, other measures, particularly concerning spe-
cific animal health conditions, public health requirements,
residue plans and certification will have to be taken into
account in order to achieve complete harmonization of the
conditions for importation of fresh poultrymeat (SIC!
poultry meat);
Whereas, pending the adoption by the Commission of the
animal health certification for importation of fresh poultry-
meat (SIC! poultry meat) from the countries specified in
this list, Member States may continue to apply, on import-
ation, their animal health requirements in force on 1 Jan-
uary 1994;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in
accordance with the opinion of the Standing VeterinaryCommittee,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
