THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June
1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable
in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products
with a view to the completion of the internal market (1), as last
amended by Directive 92/118/EEC (2), and in particular Article
10 thereof,

Having regard to Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11
December 1989 concerning veterinary checks

Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal

(2)

Due to outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease in Greece,

concerning protection measures with regard to foot-and-
mouth disease in Greece (4), as last amended by Decision
2000/643/EC (5), was adopted to reinforce the control
measures taken by Greece.

The Greek veterinary services informed the Commission
that no new outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease was
reported in Greece since 13 September 2000 and that
the results of a serological survey carried out so far
demonstrate that foot-and-mouth disease has been eradi-
cated from Xanthi and Evros, and had never spread into
Rodopi.

In the light of the disease evolution it appears appro-
priate to repeal Decision 2000/486/EC.

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1
