Some cases involving fish poisoning on Lake Victoria
were reported to the Commission by the Uganda author-
ities in March 1999. The fish poisoning was suspected
to be caused by the presence of pesticides in the water
of Lake Victoria.

The Uganda authorities took precautionary measures
and suspended all exports of fish from Lake Victoria to
the European Community, since 22 March 1999 and
until the safety of the fishery products could be guaran-
teed.

Following the results of an on the spot inspection visit
and the guarantees provided by the Uganda authorities
that the fishery products caught in Lake Victoria are
subject to appropriate checking to detect, in particular,
the presence of pesticides, the Uganda authorities guar-
antee the safety of the fishery products caught in Lake
Victoria and intended to be imported into the European
Community.

It is necessary to add a specific mention of the appro-
priate check in the health certificate accompanying the
fishery products imported from Uganda and established
in Commission Decision 95/328/EC (2).

Point IV of the health certification laid down in the Annex to
Decision 95/328/EC and accompanying consignments of
fishery products originating or proceeding from Uganda and
caught
in the Lake Victoria, must be completed by the
following point:

‘4. The official

inspector hereby certifies that the fishery
products specified above were produced under a system
of monitoring checks as laid down in Chapter V, point
II.3.B of the Annex to Directive 91/493/EEC, and the
results of these checks are satisfactory.’

Article 2

Member States shall modify the measures they apply to trade to
bring them into line with this Decision. They shall immediately
inform the Commission thereof.

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

of 4 August 2000

on the issue of import licences for garlic originating in China

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28
October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in
fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No
1257/1999 (2),

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1104/2000
of 25 May 2000 concerning a protective measure applicable to

(3)

Pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1859/
93 (4), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1662/94 (5),
the release for free circulation in the Community of
garlic imported from third countries is subject to presen-
tation of an import licence.

Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1104/2000, restricts
the issue of import licences for garlic originating in
China to a maximum monthly quantity in the case of
applications lodged from 29 May 2000 to 31 May
2001.

Given the criteria laid down in Article 1(2) of
that
Regulation and the import licences already issued, the
quantity applied for on 31 July 2000 is in excess of the

maximum quantity given in the Annex to that Regula-
tion for the month of August 2000.
It is therefore
necessary to determine to what extent import licences
may be issued in response to these applications. The
issue of licences in response to applications lodged after
31 July 2000 and before 28 August 2000 should be
refused,

to the information available to the Commission on 2 August
