A Commission expert has conducted an inspection visit
to Poland to verify the conditions under which fishery
products are produced, stored and dispatched to the
Community.

The provisions of legislation of Poland on health inspec-
tion and monitoring of fishery products may be consid-

In Poland the General Veterinary Inspectorate (GVI) is
capable of effectively verifying the application of the
laws in force.

The procedure for obtaining the health certificate
referred to in Article 11(4)(a) of Directive 91/493/EEC
must also cover the definition of a model certificate, the
minimum requirements regarding the language(s)
in
which it must be drafted and the grade of the person
empowered to sign it.

Pursuant to Article 11(4)(b) of Directive 91/493/EEC, a
mark should be affixed to packages of fishery products
giving the name of the third country and the approval/
registration number of the establishment, factory vessel,
cold store or freezer vessel of origin.

Pursuant to Article 11(4)(c) of Directive 91/493/EEC a
list of approved establishments, factory vessels, or cold
stores must be drawn up, and a list of freezer vessels
equipped in accordance with points 1 to 7 of Annex II
to the Directive 92/48/EEC (3) must be also drawn up.
These lists must be drawn up on the basis of a
communication from the GVI to the Commission. It is
therefore for the GVI to ensure compliance with the
