(85/218/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 64/432/EEC of 26 June 1964 on animal health problems affecting intra-Community trade in bovine animals and swine (1), as last amended by Directive 84/644/EEC (2), and in particular Article 4c (1) (c) thereof,

Having regard to Council Directive 72/461/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health problems affecting intra-Community trade in fresh meat (3), as last amended by Directive 84/643/EEC (4), and in particular Article 13a (2) thereof,

Whereas Council Decision 82/838/EEC (5) recognizes certain parts of the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany as being either officially swine-fever-free or swine-fever-free;

Whereas outbreaks of classical swine fever have been recorded in some of the parts of the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany referred to in Annexes I and II to Decision 82/838/EEC;

Whereas, by Decision 85/162/EEC of 6 February 1985 (6), the Commission has suspended for a period of 15 days the status of official freedom from swine fever or freedom from swine fever of affected parts of German territory;

Whereas, taking account of the epidemiological evolution of the disease, the Commission, by Decision 85/182/EEC of 21 February 1985 (7), temporarily prolonged this period of suspension for certain regions beyond the 15 days provided for initially;

Whereas, since that time, study of the epidemiological situation leads to the conclusion that the disease has persisted in certain districts and it is necessary to withdraw the status of officially swine-fever-free from these districts;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The status of those parts of the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany as areas recognized to be officially swine-fever-free within the meaning of Article 4c (1) (c) of Directive 64/432/EEC is withdrawn for the region listed in the Annex hereto.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

(85/431/EEC)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMISSION DECISION

of 9 December 1985

approving an amendment to the programme relating to the slaughtering and processing of beef in the Netherlands, pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 355/77

(Only the Dutch text is authentic)

(85/547/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 of 15 February 1977 on common measures to improve the conditions under which agricultural and fishery products are processed and marketed (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1247/85 (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,

Whereas on 24 January 1985 the Netherlands Government notified an amendment to the programme approved by the Commission Decision of 24 June 1980 (3) and relating to the slaughtering and processing of beef and whereas the Netherlands Government provided additional details on 14 May and 4 June 1985;

Whereas implementation of the sectoral programme has had a positive effect in this sector and the average size of undertaking has come closer to the optimum size; whereas the cold-storage sector no longer constitutes a bottleneck which impedes all slaughter operations; whereas serious environmental problems indicate the need for investments in the areas concerned;

Whereas, consequently, when the amended programme is implemented, projects for the modernization of slaughterhouses will be considered for Community financing only if the slaughterhouse has a technical slaughter capacity of at least 10 000 cattle per year and if the average rate of utilization of slaughter capacity three years after the completion of the work is at least 60 % of the technical capacity calculated on the basis of a working year of 1 800 hours and whereas investments in cutting plants connected to slaughterhouses are permissible; whereas projects for increasing refrigeration capacity can no longer be subsidized; whereas, on the other hand, investments relating to the environment and to energy saving can now be taken into consideration;

Whereas the purpose of the amendment is to adjust and extend the said programme until 1990; whereas the amendment meets the objectives and conditions laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 355/77;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The amendment to the programme relating to the slaughtering and processing of beef, notified on 24 January 1985 and supplemented by further details on 14 May and 4 June 1985 by the Netherlands Government in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 355/77, is hereby approved.

COMMISSION DECISION of 16 December 1985 amending Decision 85/262/EEC authorizing Member States to permit temporarily the marketing of forest reproductive material not satisfying the requirements of Council Directive 66/404/EEC (85/625/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, Having regard to Council Directive 66/404/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of forest reproductive material (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Article 15 (1) thereof, Having regard to the request submitted by the Kingdom of Denmark, Whereas the production of forest reproductive material is at present insufficient in all Member States so that their requirements for reproductive material conforming to the provisions of Directive 66/404/EEC cannot be met; Whereas third countries are not in a position to supply sufficient reproductive material of the relevant species which can afford the same guarantees as Community reproductive material and which conforms to the provisions of the abovementioned Directive; Whereas by Decision 83/262/EEC (2), the Commission authorized the Member States to permit temporarily the marketing of forest reproductive material which satisfies less stringent requirements; Whereas it has appeared that this authorization is not sufficient to cover fully the requirements of the Kingdom of Denmark; Whereas the Kingdom of Denmark should therefore also be authorized to permit temporarily the marketing in its own territory of seed of Fagus silvatica L., produced in Bulgaria and Yugoslavia which satisfies less stringent requirements; Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seed and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry, HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

COMMISSION DECISION of 18 December 1985 on the issue of import licences in respect of beef and veal products originating in Botswana, Kenya, Madagascar, Swaziland and Zimbabwe (85/631/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 486/85 of 26 February 1985 on the arrangements applicable to agricultural products and certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States or in the overseas countries and territories (1), and in particular Article 22 thereof, Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 of 4 September 1980 on special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences in the beef and veal sector (2), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 552/85 (3), and in particular Article 15 (6) (b) (i) thereof, Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 486/85 provides for the possibility of issuing import licences for beef and veal products; whereas, however, imports must take place within the limits of the quantities specified for each of these exporting non-member countries; Whereas the applications for import licences submitted between 1 and 10 December 1985, expressed in terms of boned meat, in accordance with Article 15 (1) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80, do not exceed, in respect of products originating from Botswana, Kenya, Madagascar, Swaziland and Zimbabwe, the quantities available from these States; whereas it is therefore possible to issue import licences in respect of the quantities requested; Whereas it seems expedient to recall that this Decision is without prejudice to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine animals and swine and fresh meat from third countries (4), as last amended by Directive 83/91/EEC (5), HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Having regard to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine animals and swine and fresh meat from third countries (1), as last amended by Directive 83/91/EEC (2), and in particular Articles 4 (1) and 18 (1) thereof,

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 Greenland has proposed, in accordance with Article 4 (3) of Directive 72/462/EEC, one establishment authorized to export to the Community;

Whereas the conditions of importation of fresh meat from the establishment listed in the Annex remain subject to provisions laid down elsewhere and to the general provisions of the Treaty; whereas, in particular, import from third countries and subsequent dispatch to other Member States of certain categories of meat, such as meat containing residues of certain substances not yet covered by harmonized Community rules, remain subject to the animal health legislation of the importing Member State;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

1. The establishment in Greenland listed in the Annex is hereby approved for the import of fresh meat into the Community pursuant to the said Annex.
