COMMISSION DECISION

of 5 November 1999

amending Decision 97/217/EC establishing groups of third countries which are able to use the
veterinary certification for imports of wild game meat, farmed game meat and rabbit meat from
third countries

(notified under document number C(1999) 3584)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(1999/758/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 92/118/EEC of 17
December 1992 laying down animal health and public health
requirements governing trade
into the
Community of products not subject to the said requirements
laid down in specific Community rules referred to in Annex
A(I) to Directive 89/662/EEC and, as regards pathogens, to
Directive 90/425/EEC (1), as last amended by Directive 97/
79/EC (2), and in particular Article 10(2) thereof,

in and imports

(5)

(6)

(7)

(8)

the responsible veterinary of New Caledonia have under-
taken to notify the Commission and the Member States,
by telex or fax, within 24 hours of confirmation of the
occurence of
the
adoption of vaccination against it;

the abovementioned disease or of

imports of farmed cloven-hoofed game meat, excepting
swine, from New Caledonia can be authorised;

it is therefore necessary to amend Decision 97/217/EC;

the measures provided for in this Decision are in accord-
ance with the opinion of
the Standing Veterinary
Committee,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

(4)

Commission Decision 97/217/EC (3), as last amended by
Decision 98/648/EC (4), lays down groups of third coun-
tries, or parts thereof, which are able to use the veter-
inary certification for
imports of wild game meat,
farmed game meat and rabbit meat from third countries;

following the information available by the European
Community, it appears that New Caledonia is covered
by sufficiently well-structured and organised veterinary
services;

the responsible veterinary authorities of New Caledonia
have confirmed that the country has during the last 24
months been free from foot-and-mouth disease;

no vaccinations have been carried out against
disease during the past 12 months;

this

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The Annex to Commission Decision 97/217/EC is replaced by
the Annex to this Decision.

This Decision is addressed to the Members States.

Article 2

Done at Brussels, 5 November 1999.
