COMMISSION DECISION of 8 February 1995 deferring, as regards the importation of fruit plant propagating material and fruit plants intended for fruit production from third countries, the date referred to in Article 16 (2) of Council Directive 92/34/EEC (95/26/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 92/34/EEC of 28 April 1992 on the marketing of fruit plant propagating material and fruit plants, intended for fruit production (1), as last amended by Commission Decision 94/150/EC (2), and in particular Article 16 (2) thereof,

Whereas, by virtue of Decision 94/150/EC, the date in Article 16 (2) of the said Directive was deferred until 31 December 1994;

Whereas the Commission is required, pursuant to Article 16 (1) of Directive 92/34/EEC, to decide whether propagating material and fruit plants produced in a third country and affording the same guarantees as regards obligations on the supplier, identity, characteristics, plant health, growing medium, packaging, inspection arrangements, marking and sealing, are equivalent in all these respects to propagating material and fruit plants produced in the Community and complying with the requirements and conditions of the Directive;

Whereas, however, the information presently available on the conditions applying in third countries is still not sufficient to enable the Community to make any such decision in respect of any third country at this stage;

Whereas it is know that Member States have imported propagating material and fruit plants produced in certain third countries; whereas, in order to prevent trade patterns from being disrupted, Member States should be allowed to continue to apply to the import of propagating material and fruit plants from third countries conditions equivalent to those applicable to the production and marketing of products obtained in the Community, in accordance with Article 16 (2) of the said Directive;

Whereas propagating material and fruit plants imported by a Member State in accordance with a decision taken by that Member State pursuant to Article 16 (2), first subparagraph, of the said Directive should be subject to no marketing restrictions as regards the matters referred to in Article 16 (1) of the said Directive in other Member States;

Whereas, accordingly, the date referred to in Article 16 (2) of the said Directive should be further deferred;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Propagating Materials and Plants of Fruit Genera and Species,

COMMISSION DECISION of 6 March 1995 amending Decision 94/381/EC concerning certain protection measures with regard to bovine spongiform encephalopathy and the feeding of mammalian derived protein (Text with EEA relevance) (95/60/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (1), as last amended by Directive 92/118/EEC (2), and in particular Article 10 (4) thereof,

Whereas cases of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) have been reported in the United Kingdom and some other Member States; whereas scrapie is also known to exist in several Member States;

Whereas the origin of BSE in cattle is considered to be from ruminant protein which contained agents of animal spongiform encephopathies, which had not been sufficiently processed to inactivate the infectious agents; whereas the Scientific Veterinary Committee has stated that it is not possible at present to define processes which can guarantee total inactivation of the agents in the commercial rendering industry, in the light of recent studies;

Whereas, in order to protect ruminant species from the risk that methods for the processing of protein may not completely inactivate these agents, the Commission has adopted Decision 94/381/EC of 27 June 1994 concerning certain protection measures with regard to bovine spongiform encephalopathy and the feeding of mammalian derived protein (3);

Whereas, however, the BSE subgroup of the Scientific Veterinary Committee has evaluated the risk from certain animal products and by-products and has recommended that certain of these may be exempted from the provisions of Decision 94/381/EC;

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 following paragraph is added to Article 1 of Decision 94/381/EC:

'3. The prohibition mentioned in paragraph 1 shall not apply to:

- milk,

- gelatin,

- amino acids produced from hides and skins by a process which involves exposure of the material to a pH of 1 to 2 followed by a pH of > 11 followed by heat treatment at 140 °C for 30 minutes at 3 bar,

- dicalcium phosphate derived from defatted bones,

- dried plasma and other blood products.'

Whereas, following the accession of new Member States to the Community, serious practical problems have occurred which have not allowed the amendment of Decision 94/205/EC in due time;

Whereas it is necessary to permit that the products frozen or processed since 1 January 1995 can be imported in order to avoid an unjustified and important loss for the operators due to the interruption of the imports;

Whereas it is necessary to amend the list of approved establishments;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

From 1 January 1995 Annex C of Decision 94/205/EC is replaced by the Annex to this Decision.
