of America approved for the purpose of
into the
Community

importing fresh meat

(notified under document number C(1998) 1995)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(98/473/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 on importation of bovine, ovine and caprine
animals and swine, fresh meat or meat products from
third countries (1), as last amended by Directive 97/
79/EC (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 (3) as last amended by
Decision 98/113/EC (4); whereas that 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 negotiations are under way to conclude an agree-
ment with the United States on health measures to
protect public health and animal health in the context of
trade in livestock and products of animal origin;

Whereas this situation, progress already achieved, and the
need to avoid distortion of trade justify the postponement
of the deadline established for the landing of certain fresh
meat, from 31 July 1998 to 31 January 1999; whereas the
fixing of this date is without prejudice either to the date

of conclusion or to the content of the abovementioned
agreement;

Whereas the list of establishments must be amended
accordingly;

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 Annex to Decision 87/257/EEC is hereby replaced
by the Annex hereto.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Done at Brussels, 15 July 1998.
