COMMISSION DECISION

of 11 January 2002

laying down special conditions governing imports of fishery products originating in the Republic
of Turkey

(notified under document number C(2002) 14/4)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2002/27/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

(6)

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(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

(4)

An inspection has been carried out on behalf of the
Commission in the Republic of Turkey to verify the
conditions under which fishery products are produced,
stored and dispatched to the Community.

The provisions of Turkish legislation on health inspec-
tion and monitoring of fishery products may be consid-
ered equivalent to those laid down in Directive 91/
493/EEC.

In particular the General Directorate of Protection and
Control (GDPC) of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural
Affairs is capable of effectively verifying the application
of the laws in force.

It is appropriate to lay down detailed rules concerning
the health certificate which must, under Directive 91/
493/EEC, accompany consignments of fishery products
imported into the Community from Turkey. In partic-
ular these rules must specify the definition of a model
certificate,
the minimum requirements regarding the
language or languages in which it must be drafted and
the status of the person empowered to sign it.

factory vessel, cold store or freezer vessel of origin,
except for certain frozen products.

Pursuant to Article 11(4)(c) of Directive 91/493/EEC a
list of approved establishments, factory vessels, or cold
stores must be drawn up, and a list of freezer vessels
equipped in accordance with the points 1 to 7 of Annex
II to Council Directive 92/48/EEC (3) must also be drawn
up. These lists must be drawn up on the basis of a
communication from the GDPC to the Commission. It is
therefore for the GDPC to ensure compliance with the
provisions laid down to that end in Directive 91/
493/EEC.

The GDPC has provided official assurances regarding
compliance with the rules set out in Chapter V of the
Annex to Directive 91/493/EEC, and regarding the fulfil-
ment of hygienic requirements equivalent to those laid
down by that Directive.

In addition, where the fishery products are frozen or
processed bivalve molluscs the raw material shall be
obtained from approved production areas as laid down
by the Annex B to Commission Decision 94/777/EC of
30 November 1994 laying down special conditions for
the import of live bivalve molluscs, echinoderms, tuni-
cates and marine gastropods originating in Turkey (4), as
last amended by Decision 1999/767/EC (5), and they
treated according to the
shall be sterilised or heat
requirements of Decision 93/25/EEC of 11 December
1992 approving certain treatments to inhibit the devel-
opment of pathogenic micro-organisms
in bivalve
molluscs and marine gastropods (6), as last amended by
Decision 97/275/EC (7).

Since the health certification of the above products will
fall under the scope of the present Decision, Commis-
sion Decision 94/778/EC of 30 November 1994 laying
down special conditions for the import of frozen or
processed bivalve molluscs, echinoderms, tunicates and
marine gastropods originating in Turkey (8), as last
amended by Decision 1999/767/EC, shall be repealed.

(7)

(8)

(9)

(10)

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

(5)

The mark which must be affixed to packages of fishery
products should give the name of the third country and
the approval/registration number of the establishment,
