COMMISSION DECISION

of 30 November 2001

amending for the third time Decision 2001/740/EC concerning certain protection measures with
regard to foot-and-mouth disease in the United Kingdom

(notified under document number C(2001) 3816)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2001/848/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

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
in intra-
Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal
market (3), as last amended by Directive 92/118/EEC, and in
particular Article 9 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

(4)

(5)

Commission Decision 2001/740/EC (4), as last amended
by Decision 2001/789/EC (5), concerns certain protec-
tion measures with regard to foot-and-mouth disease in
the United Kingdom.

Certain counties in Great Britain, which are listed in
Annex III, have had no outbreak of
foot-and-mouth
disease during this epidemic, while others have remained
free from the disease for more than 3 months. It appears
therefore appropriate to further enlarge the area from
which dispatch of certain meats is authorized, and to
include in addition to pig meat also meat from other
livestock and from farmed and wild game of species
susceptible to foot-and-mouth disease.

For clarity some minor corrections are considered neces-
sary.

The situation shall be reviewed at the meeting of the
Standing Veterinary Committee
scheduled for 4-5
December 2001 and the measures adapted where neces-
sary.

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

Article 1

Decision 2001/740/EC is amended as follows:

1. The fifth indent of Article 2(2)(e)

is replaced by the

following:

‘— after the killing of

the animals the carcasses were
handled in accordance with the provisions of Annex I,
Chapter III of Directive 92/45/EEC and transported to
an establishment, this being either a wild game collec-
tion centre or an approved processing house,
for
chilling;’

2. Paragraph (a) of Article 13(1) is replaced by the following:

‘(a) such transports of live animals of susceptible species
shall be subject to prior authorisation by the competent
authorities of the place of dispatch, which must ensure
that the transport and port of entry is pre-notified to
the central competent veterinary authorities in the
United Kingdom at least 3 working days in advance;’

3. Paragraph (2) of Article 10 is deleted.

4. The date of 31 December 2001 in Article 16 is replaced by

‘31 January 2002’.

5. Annex III is replaced by the Annex to this Decision.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Done at Brussels, 30 November 2001.
