Following the detection of Salmonella paratyphi B in

potential risk for public health, the Commission adopted
Decision 97/518/EC (2),
suspending the imports of
fishery products from the establishment concerned.

Following the information and the guarantees received
from the Malaysian authorities, this establishment has
improved its sanitary conditions and rectified the non-
conformities, and it is now again in compliance with the
requirements of 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 (3).

(3)

(4)

Decision 97/518/EC should therefore be repealed to
permit the resumption of the imports of fishery prod-
ucts from the establishment concerned.

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