thereof;
Having regard to Council Directive 91/496/EEC of 15 July 1991 laying
down the principles governing the organization of veterinary checks onanimals entering the Community from third countries and amendingDirectives 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC and 90/675/EEC(

certain third countries appearing on the abovementioned list, which isthe subject of Commission Decision 92/160/EEC(
7), as amended by
Decision 92/161/EEC(8);
Whereas the responsible national veterinary authorities have undertaken
to notify the Commission and the Member States, by telegram, telex ortelefax, within 24 hours of the confirmation of the occurrence of any
infectious or contagious disease in equidae of lists A and B of the
International Office of Epizootic Diseases or of the adoption of vacci-nation against any of them or, within an appropriate period, of anychanges in the national import rules concerning equidae;
Whereas the conditions to be established for imports of equidae for
slaughter apply without prejudice to the requirements of Council Direc-tive 86/469/EEC(
