Having regard to Council Directive 91/496/EEC of 15 July 1991 laying down the principles governing the organization of veterinary checks on animals entering the Community from third countries and amending Directives 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC and 90/675/EEC (1), as last amended by Decision 92/438/EEC (2), and in particular Article 18 thereof,

Article 19

thereof;

Whereas there is an incidence in Norway of infectious anaemia in salmon; whereas this disease is causing large losses in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) farms affected by it and hence presents a serious threat to the health of the salmon in question;

Whereas some Member States have requested that the Commission, purusant to Article 18 (1) of Directive 91/496/EEC and Article 19 (1) of Directive 90/675/EEC, take the necessary measures to prevent the disease in question from entering the Community;

Whereas experts from the Community went to Norway to review the situation and to look into ways of ensuring that the risk of infectious anaemia in salmon entering the Community is obivated;

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Member States shall prohibit imports of salmon of the Salmo salar species originating in Norway, whether live or slaughtered in the non-eviscerated state.
