THE COMMISSION 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), as
last amended by Directive 87/64/EEC(2), and in particular Articles 4
(1) and 18 (1) thereof,
Whereas establishments in third countries cannot be authorized to
export fresh meat unless they satisfy the general and special conditions
laid downinDirective 72/462/EEC;
Whereas the United States of America has forwarded, in accordance
with Article 4 (3) of Directive 72/462/EEC, a list of establishmentsauthorized to export to the Community;
Whereas, on the basis of a first inspection, no establishments were
judged satisfactory and Commission Decision 86/189/EEC(
3) prohib-
ited Member States, on a Community basis, from importing fresh
meat from establishments in the United States of America, while still
allowing those Member States whose national legislation so permittednot to interrupt existing trade flows with the establishments proposedby the Americanauthorities for a period of sevenmon ths;
Whereas, following a re-examination of the establishments, the transi-
tional arrangements were extended to 29 April 1987 by CommissionDecision87/134/EEC(
4) to correspond with the entry into force of
amended Community rules; whereas the deadline for introduction into
the Community of meat from these establishments is 22 May 1987;
Whereas a further inspection carried out pursuant to Article 5 of Direc-
tive 72/462/EEC and Article 2 (1) of Commission Decision 86/474/EEC of 11 September 1986 on the implementation of the on-the-spotinspections to be carried out in respect of the importation of bovine
animals and swine and fresh meat from non-member countries(
5) has
shown that the standard of hygiene in certain establishments has beenraised and can thus be regarded as satisfactory;
Whereas they may therefore be entered on an initial list of establish-
ments authorized to export to the Community;
Whereas the case of other establishments proposed by the United States
of America has to be re-examined on the basis of additional informa-
tion regarding their hygiene standards and their ability to adapt quickly
to Community legislation;
Whereas, to avoid any abrupt interruption of trade flows, these estab-
lishments may be authorized temporarily from 29 April 1987 toexport fresh meat to those Member States prepared to accept them;
Whereas it will therefore be necessary to re-examine and, if necessary,
amend this Decision in the light of measures taken to this end and ofimprovements made;1987D0257 — EN — 30.03.1988 — 002.001 — 2
