THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
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 and fresh meat or meat products from
third countries (1), as last amended by the Act of Acces-
sion of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and in particular
Articles 4 (1) and 18 (1)

(a) and (b) thereof,

Whereas establishments in third countries cannot be
authorized to export fresh meat to the Community unless
they satisfy the general and special conditions laid down
in that Directive;

Whereas, in accordance with Article 4 (3) of Directive
72/462/EEC,
the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia has
forwarded a list of the establishments authorized to export
to the Community;

Whereas, following a Community veterinary mission, it
appears that the animal health situation in the Federal
Republic of Yugoslavia compares favourably with that in
Community countries particularly as regards disease trans-
missible through meat;

Whereas Community on-the-spot inspections have shown
that the hygiene standards of these establishments are
sufficient and they may therefore be entered on a first list
of establishments, drawn up in accordance with Article 4
(1) of that Directive, from which imports of fresh meat
may be authorized;
