COMMISSION DECISION

of 6 January 1983

amending the list of establishments in the Argentine Republic approved for the purpose of importing fresh meat into the Community

(83/12/EEC)

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 of bovine animals and swine and fresh meat from third countries (1), and in particular Articles 4 (1) and 18 (1) (a) and (b) thereof,

Whereas a list of establishments in Argentina, approved for the purposes of the importation of fresh meat into the Community, was drawn up initially by the Commission Decision of 25 November 1980, and was amended and published by Decision 81/91/EEC (2), as last amended by Council Decision 82/737/EEC (3);

Whereas a routine inspection, made pursuant to Article 5 of Directive 72/462/EEC and Article 3 (1) of Commission Decision 80/15/EEC of 21 December 1979 concerning the on-the-spot inspections to be carried out in respect of the importation of bovine animals, swine and fresh meat from non-member countries (4), has revealed that the level of hygiene of certain establishments may be considered to be satisfactory; whereas these establishments may therefore be kept or entered on the Community list;

Whereas this inspection has revealed, however, in other approved establishments, some of which are approved until 15 March 1983 by Decision 82/737/EEC, that in some cases insufficient effort has been made to improve hygiene standards and in other cases those standards have fallen; whereas for establishments for which approval is limited, the latter cannot be extended beyond 15 March 1983; whereas for the other establishments the situation does not, at least in some of them, necessitate immediate withdrawal of approval, but does justify limiting Community approval to a certain period;

Whereas it is therefore necessary to modify the list of establishments;

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 Annex to Decision 81/91/EEC is hereby replaced by the Annex to this Decision.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Done at Brussels, 6 January 1983.
