(Text with EEA relevance)

(98/536/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 96/23/EC of 29 April
1996 on measures to monitor certain substances and res-
idues thereof in live animals and animal products and
repealing Directives 85/358/EEC and 86/469/EEC and
Decisions 89/187/EEC and 91/664/EEC (1), and in par-
ticular Article 14(1) thereof,

Whereas Article 14(1) of Directive 96/23/EC stipulates
that at least one national reference laboratory is to be
designated in each Member State for the detection of
certain substances and residues so that each residue or
group of residues is not assigned to more than one
national reference laboratory; whereas in this connection,
until 31 December 2000 the Member States may continue
to entrust testing for the same residue or residue group to
several national laboratories which they designated prior
to the date of adoption of that Directive;

Whereas Article 14(1) of Directive 96/23/EC lays down
the tasks of such national reference laboratories for the
detection of residues and provides that the Commission is
to draw up the list of such national reference laboratories;

Whereas the Annex to this Decision must be reviewed by
31 December 2000 at the latest;

Whereas, for reasons of legal clarity, certain provisions of
Commission Decision 93/257/EEC of 15 April 1993
laying down the reference methods and the list of
national reference laboratories for detecting residues (2)
should be repealed;

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 national reference laboratories for the detection of
residues designated pursuant to Article 14 of Directive
96/23/EC shall be as listed in the Annex hereto.

are hereby repealed.

the latest.
