Whereas the Commission has received from Mexico a list
of establishments, with guarantees that they fully meet
the appropriate Community health requirements and that
should an establishment fail to do so its export activities
to the European Community will be suspended;

Whereas a Community on-the-spot inspection has shown

cient and they may therefore be entered on a first list of
