revoking Decision 87/527/EEC concerning the status of the United Kingdom as regards classical swine fever

(87/538/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 80/1095/EEC of 11 November 1980 laying down conditions designed to render and keep the territory of the Community free from classical swine fever (1), as last amended by Directive 87/487/EEC (2), and in particular Article 8 (2) thereof,

Whereas, by Commission Decision 81/400/EEC of 15 May 1981 establishing the status of Member States as regards classical swine fever with a view to its eradication (3), the United Kingdom was recognized as being officially free from classical swine fever;

Whereas status as a Member State officially free from classical swine fever is of special importance in view of the rules on intra-Community trade laid down by Council Directive 64/432/EEC of 26 June 1964 on animal health problems affecting intra-Community trade in bovine animals and swine (4), and in particular Article 4b thereof, Council Directive 72/461/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health problems affecting intra-Community trade in fresh meat (5), and in particular Article 13a thereof, and Council Directive 80/215/EEC of 22 January 1980 on animal health problems affecting intra-Community trade in meat products (6), and in particular Article 10 thereof;

Whereas, by its Decision 87/527/EEC (7), the Commission maintained the status of the United Kingdom as officially free from classical swine fever until 31 October 1987 pending clarification of the situation and adoption of the requisite measures;

Whereas, in the light of the satisfactory development of the disease situation, it is possible to revoke the Commission Decision of 87/527/EEC, in order to confirm the officially swine fever free status of the United Kingdom, as defined by Decision 81/400/EEC;

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

Whereas on 3 November 1986 the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany submitted a programme for the marketing of flowers and ornamental plants in Hessen and supplemented it by additional information on 25 June 1987;

Whereas this programme relates to the rationalization of storage and the improvement of conditions of sale and of market transparency as regards the flowers and ornamental plants produced in the programme area and is intended to strengthen the competitiveness of this sector and to ensure the freshness of its produce; whereas it constitutes therefore a programme within the meaning of Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77;

DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT

of 7 April 1987

granting a discharge to the Commission in respect of the financial management of the third European Development Fund in the financial year 1985

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT,

- having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

- having regard to the Conventions signed in Yaoundé on 20 July 1963 and 29 July 1969,

- having regard to the balance sheets and revenue and expenditure accounts of the third, fourth and fifth European Development Funds for the financial year 1985 (1),

- having regard to the report of the Court of Auditors concerning the financial year 1985, accompanied by the replies of the Institutions (2),

- whereas the financial regulation applicable to the third EDF had made the Council responsible for the discharge, in accordance with the EEC Treaty provisions then in force; whereas, however, these EEC Treaty provisions were subsequently amended by the Treaties of 1970 and 1975 and a general responsibility for the discharge was conferred on Parliament; whereas the present non-budgetization of the EDF, the result of a refusal to take account of several Treaty provisions, cannot justify any restriction of Parliament's power of discharge,

- whereas the discharge decision relates first and foremost to the results of the financial year, not to an accumulation of results,

- having regard to the report of the Committee on Budgetary Control and the opinion of the Committee on Development and Cooperation (Doc. A 2-9/87),

1. Hereby grants a discharge to the Commission in respect of the financial management of the third European Development Fund in the financial year 1985 on the basis of the following amount:
