Directive 72/462/EEC, a list of the establishments authorized to exportto the Community;

therefore be entered on a first list, established according to Article 4 (1)of the said Directive, of establishments from which import of freshmeat may be authorized;
Whereas the case of the other establishments proposed by Romania has
to be re-examined on the basis of additional information regarding theirhygiene standards and their ability to adapt quickly to the Community

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;

amend this Decision in the light of measures taken to this end and
improvements made;
Whereas it should be recalled that import of fresh meat is also subject
to other Community veterinary legislation, particularly as regardshealth protection requirements, including the special provisions forDenmark, Ireland and the United Kingdom;
