1) and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Whereas certain products subject to Directive 92/118/EEC must come
from a third country or part of a third country fulfilling the requirements
laid down by the Directive itself; whereas it is the case for gelatines notintended for human consumption animal casings, bones and certain boneproducts, horns and certain horn products, hooves and certain hoofproducts intended for human or animal consumption, serum fromequidae, lard and rendered fats, furred farm game and feather farmed
game meat and poultry and wild game meat products;
Whereas other products subject to Directive 92/118/EEC must come
from a third country or part of a third country appearing on lists to belaid down;
Whereas in view of establishing these lists, an evaluation of the real risk
of the spread of serious transmissible diseases or of the diseasestransmissible to man must be carried out; whereas this evaluation hasbeen carried out and it is therefore possible to draw up the different listsof third countries necessary for the imports of the products in question

2)
as last amended by Commission Decision 94/59/EC (3);
Whereas certain products do not show any risk for animal or public

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance
with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
