C0M(91) 351 final 
Brussels, 20 September 1991 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL PEÇISIQN 
amending Commission Decision 87/257/EEC as regards the list 
of establishments in the United States of America approved 
for the purpose of importing fresh meat into the Community 
(presented by the Commission) 

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
On 17 June 1991 the Commission adopted Decision 91/344/EEC establishing the 
list of establishments in the United States of America approved for the import 
of fresh meat to the Community. Imports of fresh meat could not begin, by 
virtue of this Decision, until after receipt of guarantees by the American 
authorities and after a new Community inspection. 
Following a recent mission to the United States during which changes were 
found and in order to facilitate the discussions with the American authorities 
on veterinary matters, the Commission proposed a decision permitting the 
import of fresh meat from the United States, from the establishments listed in 
the Annex to the Decision. This Decision was due to be reviewed by 31 January 
1992 at the latest. 
In the absence of a favourable opinion from the Standing Veterinary Committee 
on 17 September 1991, the Commission is obliged to submit as soon as possible 
to the Council a draft of the measures to be taken, in accordance with Arti­
cle 29 of Council Directive 72/462/EEC. 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL DECISION 
amending Commission Decision 87/257/EEC as regards the list 
of establishments in the United States of America approved 
for the purpose of importing fresh meat into the Community 
THE COUNCIL 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, ovine and 
caprine animals and swine, fresh meat or meat products from third 
countries^1 ), as last amended by Directive 91/.../EEC^2), and in particular 
Articles 4(1) and 18(1) thereof, 
Whereas a list of establishments in the United States of America, approved 
for the purpose of importing fresh meat into the Community, was drawn up 
initially by Commission Decision 87/257/EEC of 28 April 1987<3), as last 
amended by Commission Decision of 17 June 1991^4^ and that this list may be 
amended at any time in the light of the results of Community inspections 
carried out in the United States of America; 
Whereas during the latest inspection under Article 5 of Directive 72/462/EEC 
and Article 2(1) of Commission Decision 86/474/EEC of 11 September 1986 on 
the implementation of the on-the-spot inspections to be carried out in res­
pect of the importation of bovine animals and swine and fresh meat from non-
member countries^5) some improvements were found in certain establishments; 
Whereas it is appropriate to take a temporary decision authorizing the import 
of fresh meat from these establishments;

the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
