(2000/163/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 90/426/EEC of 26 June 1990 on animal health conditions governing
the movement and imports from third countries of equidae (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of

(5)

Commission Decision 92/160/EEC (2), as last amended by Decision 1999/558/EC (3), establishes the
regionalisation of certain third countries for imports of equidae.

The States Alagoas and Pernambuco of Brazil are included in the list of States of Brazil in the Annex
to Decision 92/160/EEC from where Member States authorise imports of equidae.

Brazil reported cases of glanders in working horses in certain districts of the States Alagoas and
Pernambuco. The origin of the infection remains so far unknown.

In accordance with Community legislation Member States are authorised to import equidae from
third countries or in the case of official regionalisation from parts of the territory of a third country
which have been free from glanders for the past six months prior to export.
It is therefore
appropriate to adapt the regionalisation to the disease situation in the country concerned.

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 words ‘Alagoas, Pernambuco’ are deleted from the list of States of Brazil in the Annex of Decision
92/160/EEC.

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

recalling that the Commission was required under Article 7 of Directive 97/67/EC to table new pro-
posals before the end of 1998 on the pursuit of progressive and controlled liberalisation of the inter-
nal postal market and that this proposal has not been submitted to date,

C. mindful of the economic and social importance of postal services in the European Union and there-

fore the importance of impact studies undertaken by the Commission in this field,

Repeats its request that the Commission forward the various feasibility studies on the economic and

1.
social impact of the liberalisation possibilities as foreseen;

2.
Asks the Commission to take account of Parliament’s active role in the preparation of the new pro-
posal, as stipulated in Article 7(3) of Directive 97/67/EC, in order to facilitate the legislative procedure and
to compensate for the accumulated delays on the Commission’s inability to act;

Asks the Commission to adopt a position on the statements set out in its abovementioned resolu-

3.
tions of 14 January 1999 before tabling any specific proposals;

Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission, the Economic and
