amending for the third time Decision 96/233/EC establishing the list of approved fish farms in
Denmark

(notified under document number C(2001) 453)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2001/185/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 91/67/EEC of 28 January
1991 concerning the animal health conditions governing the
placing on the market of aquaculture animals and products (1),
as last amended by Directive 98/45/EC (2), and in particular
Article 6 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

(4)

Commission Decision 93/74/EEC (3), as last amended by
Decision 1999/489/EC (4), recognises the entire territory
of Denmark as an approved zone with regard to infec-
tious hematopoietic necrosis (IHN).

The Member States may obtain the status of approved
farms free of viral haemorrhagic septicaemia (VHS) for
fish farms located in zones which are non-approved in
respect of VHS.

The list of approved fish farms in Denmark was estab-
lished by Commission Decision 96/233/EC (5), as last
amended by Decision 1999/512/EC (6).

Denmark has submitted justifications to the Commission
to obtain for two additional fish farms the status of
approved farms
located in zones which are non-
approved in respect of VHS, as well as the national
provisions ensuring compliance with the rules on main-
tenance of approval.

(5)

The Commission and the Member States have examined
the justifications submitted by Denmark for those farms.

(6)

(7)

(8)

(9)

That examination has shown that the farms concerned
meet the requirements of Article 6 of Directive 91/
67/EEC.

Therefore, those farms should accordingly qualify for the
status of approved farms in non-approved zones.

Those farms should be added to the list of approved
farms.

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 Annex to Decision 96/233/EC is replaced by the Annex
hereto.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Done at Brussels, 27 February 2001.
