THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 89/556/EEC of 25 September 1989 on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in and imports from third countries of embryos of domestic animals of the bovine species (1), as last amended by Council Directive 90/425/EEC (2), and in particular Article 8 thereof,

Whereas the list of third countries from which Member States are permitted to import bovine embryos has been established in Commission Decision 91/270/EEC (3);

Whereas it is now necessary to draw up a list of approved embryo collection teams in each third country on the list established in Commission Decision 91/270/EEC;

Whereas it is established that the veterinary services of the third countries included in the list established in Commission Decision 91/270/EEC exercise adequate powers and proper control of embryo collection teams operating on their territories and whereas the same veterinary services have undertaken to approve for collection, processing and storing bovine embryos for export to the Community only those teams which meet in full the requirements of Chapter I and II of Annex A of Directive 89/556/EEC;

Whereas the veterinary services of third countries on the list have undertaken to withdraw approval from embryo collection teams should one or more of the conditions of approval be observed no longer and shall notify the Commission of such changes;

Whereas the competent veterinary authorities of some third countries on the list have not forwarded a list of approved embryo collection teams and new information may be supplied to the Commission; whereas it will be necessary to re-examine and to amend this Decision;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
