COUNCILDECISION
of18October 1982
on the list of establishments in the Swiss Confederation approved
forthepurposesofexportingfreshmeattotheCommunity
(82/734/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic
Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972
on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation ofbovine animals and swine and fresh meat from third countries (
1), and
in particular Articles 4 (1) and 18 (1) (a) and (b) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas establishments in third countries cannot be authorized to
export fresh meat to the Community unless they satisfy the general
and special conditions laid down in Directive 72/462/EEC;
Whereas Switzerland has forwarded, in accordance with Article 4 (3)
of Directive 72/462/EEC, a list of the establishments authorized to
export fresh meat to the Community;
Whereas Community on-the-spot visits have shown that the hygiene
standards of many of these establishments are sufficient and they maytherefore be entered on a first list, drawn up according to Article 4 (1)of the said Directive, of establishments from which importation of freshmeatmay be aut horized;
Whereas the case of the other establishments proposed by Switzerland
has to be re-examined on the basis of additional information regarding
their hygiene standards and their ability to adapt quickly to Community
rules;
Whereas, in the meantime and so as to avoid any abrupt interruption of
existing trade flows, these establishments may be authorized tempora-rily to continue their exports of fresh meat to those Member Statesprepared to accept them;
Whereas it will therefore be necessary to re-examine and, if necessary,
amend this Decision;
Whereas, in relation to the particular case of cold stores, the Commu-
nity standards which must be met are at present the subject of certainadjustments, the final form of which may not be accurately foreseen;
whereas, consequently, it is necessary to hold this matter in abeyance
and to leave to a later date all decisions concerning these establish-ments;
Whereas it should be recalled that imports of fresh meat are also
subject to other Community veterinary rules, particularly as regardshealth protection requirements, including the special provisions forDenmark, Ireland and the United Kingdom;
Whereas the conditions for the importation of fresh meat from estab-
lishments appearing in the Annex remain subject to veterinary
provisions laid down and to the general provisions of the Treaty;
whereas, in particular, the importation from third countries and the re-exportation to other Member States of certain categories of meat, suchas cuts weighing less than 3 kg, or meat containing residues of certainsubstances, which are not yet covered by harmonized Community rules,remain subject to the health legislation of the importing Member State;
Whereas, in the absence of any favourable opinion from the Standing
Veterinary Committee, the Commission is unable to adopt the measures1982D0734 — EN — 27.09.1985 — 004.001 — 2
