THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 91/494/EEC of 26 June 1991 on animal health conditions governing
intra-Community trade in and imports from third countries of fresh poultry meat (1), as last amended by

Commission Decision 94/984/EC (3), as last amended by Decision 1999/549/EC (4), established the
animal health conditions and the veterinary certificates for imports of fresh poultry meat from
certain third countries. Two different certificates, model A and model B are laid down. Their use
depends on the Newcastle disease situation in the country concerned.

Argentina is listed in Annex I to Decision 94/984/EC as a third country which is allowed to use the
model B certificate laid down in Annex II to that Decision.

An inspection in July 1998 was carried out by the Commission services in Argentina to review the
Newcastle disease situation and additional

information has been received from that country.

It appears, in accordance with the results of that inspection and the submitted information, that the
Newcastle disease situation in Argentina has improved.

Argentina can comply with the requirements of the model A certificate laid down in Annex II to
Decision 94/984/EC.

This Decision shall apply for fresh poultry meat certified as from 1 April 2000.

The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing
Veterinary Committee,
