COMMISSION DECISION

of 6 February 1998

concerning the importation of live animals of ovine and caprine species from
Uruguay and amending Council Decision 79/542/EEC

(Text with EEA relevance)

(98/146/EC)

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 animals and swine
and fresh meat or meat products from third countries (1),
as last amended by Directive 96/91/EC (2), and in par-
ticular Article 3 thereof,

Whereas Council Decision 79/542/EEC (3),
last
amended by Commission Decision 97/736/EC (4), draws
up a list of third countries from which the Member States
authorise imports of bovine animals, swine, equidae,
sheep and goats, fresh meat and meat products;

as

Whereas, following Community veterinary missions,
it
appears that Uruguay is covered by sufficiently well-struc-
tured and organised veterinary services;

Whereas vaccination against foot-and-mouth disease is
forbidden in Uruguay;

Whereas Uruguay should be added to the list of third
countries from which Member States authorise imports of
sheep and goats;

Whereas Decision 79/542/EEC should be amended
accordingly;

Whereas the specific animal health conditions and veter-
inary certification for importation of bovine animals,
swine, equidae, sheep and goats, fresh meat and meat
products will be laid down in other decisions according
to the animal health situation of
the third country
concerned;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Part I of the Annex to Decision 79/542/EEC is replaced
by the Annex to this Decision.

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Article 2

Done at Brussels, 6 February 1998.
