Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Article 1

Having regard to Council Directive 91/493/EEC of 22 July
1991 laying down the health conditions for the production
and the placing on the market of fishery products (1), as last
amended by Directive 97/79/EC (2), and in particular Article 11

(4)

Article 1 of Commission Decision 94/324/EC of 19 May
1994 laying down special conditions governing imports
of fishery and aquaculture products originating in Indo-
nesia (3), as last amended by Decision 97/401/EC (4),

states that
General of Fisheries (Provincial Laboratory for Fish
Inspection and Quality Control) shall be the competent
authority in Indonesia for verifying and certifying
compliance of fishery and aquaculture products with the
requirements of Directive 91/493/EEC.

Following a restructuring of the Indonesian administra-
tion, the competent authority for health certificates for
fishery products has changed to the Directorate-General
of Fisheries (DGF) of the Ministry of Marine Affairs and
Fisheries. This new authority is capable of effectively
verifying the application of the laws in force. It is there-
the
fore necessary to modify the nomination of
competent authority mentioned in Decision 94/324/EC
and the model health certificate included in Annex A to
this Decision.

It is convenient to harmonise the wording of Decision
94/324/EC with the wording of more recently adopted
Commission Decisions, laying down special conditions
governing imports of fishery and aquaculture products
originating in certain third countries.

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

(1) OJ L 268, 24.9.1991, p. 15.
(2) OJ L 24, 30.1.1998, p. 31.
(3) OJ L 145, 10.6.1994, p. 23.
(4) OJ L 166, 25.6.1997, p. 14.

The Directorate-General of Fisheries (DGF) of the Ministry
of Marine Affairs and Fisheries shall be the competent
authority in Indonesia for verifying and certifying compli-
ance of fishery and aquaculture products with the require-
ments of Directive 91/493/EEC.’

2. Article 2 shall be replaced by the following:

‘Article 2

Fishery and aquaculture products originating in Indonesia
must meet the following conditions:

1. each consignment must be accompanied by a numbered
original health certificate, duly completed, signed, dated
and comprising a single sheet in accordance with the
model

in Annex A hereto;

factory vessels, cold stores or registered freezer vessels
listed in Annex B hetero;

3. except in the case of frozen fishery products in bulk and
intended for the manufacture of preserved foods, all
packages must bear the word “INDONESIA” and the
approval/registration number of
establishment,
factory vessel, cold store or freezer vessel of origin in
indelible letters.’

the

3. Article 3(2) shall be replaced by the following:

‘2.
ture of the representative of the DGF and the latter's official
stamp in a colour different from that of other endorse-
ments.’

4. Annex A shall be replaced by the Annex hereto.
