COMMISSION DECISION

of 22 December 1983

amending Decision 81/713/EEC as regards the list of establishments in Brazil approved for the purpose of importing fresh meat into the Community

(84/18/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), as last amended by Directive 83/91/EEC (2), and in particular Articles 4 (1), 16 and 18 (1) (a) and (b) thereof,

Whereas a list of establishments in Brazil approved for the purpose of importing fresh meat into the Community was drawn up initially by Commission Decision 81/713/EEC (3), as last amended by Decision 83/469/EEC (4);

Whereas a routine inspection under Article 5 of Directive 72/462/EEC and Article 3 (1) of Commission Decision 83/196/EEC of 8 April 1983 concerning the on-the-spot inspections to be carried out in respect of the importation of bovine animals and swine and fresh meat from non-member countries (5) has revealed that the level of hygiene of certain establishments has altered since the last inspection; whereas, consequently, it is advisable to enter or maintain certain of those establishments on the said list and to limit or withdraw, for reasons of hygiene, Community approval of some other establishments;

Whereas, for the last-mentioned establishments, it is necessary for reasons of hygiene to take special measures regarding entry into the Community of meat which has been produced or stored therein;

Whereas, to this end, it is necessary, on the one hand, to fix a final date for the introduction into Community territory of meat originating in these establishments and, on the other hand, to require a special reference in the public health certificate concerning the date before which this meat has been produced;

Whereas the list of establishments should therefore be amended;

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 81/713/EEC is hereby replaced by the Annex to this Decision.

(b) the health certificate accompanying fresh meat sent from the establishments referred to at point (a) as from 1 January 1984 must bear the reference 'fresh meat obtained before 1 January 1984';

(c) fresh meat from the establishments authorized to appear until 30 June 1984 on the annexed list may be introduced into the territory of the Community until 15 August 1984;
