aquaculture products originating in Guinea

(notified under document number C(2001) 4868)

(2002/61/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

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(5) thereof,

Whereas:

fishery products or

of animal origin,
live bivalve
molluscs (4), as last amended by Decision 2001/4/EC (5),
shall be authorised for modifications concerning the
deletion of establishments or vessels or changes of their
names, but not for the addition of new establishments
or vessels.

(5)

(6)

Decision 2001/634/EC should therefore be amended
accordingly.

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

(4)

Commission Decision 2001/634/EC of 16 August 2001
laying down special conditions governing imports of
fishery products originating or proceeding
from
Guinea (3) states that the ‘Direction nationale des pêches
maritimes (DNPM) of the Ministère de la pêche et de
l'aquaculture’ is to be the competent authority in Guinea
for verifying and certifying compliance of fishery and
aquaculture products with the requirements of Directive
91/493/EEC.

Following a restructuring of the Guinean administration,
the competent authority for issuing health certificates for
fishery products has changed to the ‘Service Industries et
assurance qualité des produits de la pêche et de l'aqua-
culture (SIAQPPA) du Ministère de la pêche et de l'aqua-
culture’. This new authority is capable of effectively veri-
fying the application of the laws in force.

Also,
the processing prohibition provided for under
Article 2, point 1, of that Decision should be amended
to authorise operations avoiding the contamination of
fishery products,

i.e. heading and gutting.

Furthermore the modification of the list of establish-
ments, by the procedure laid down by Article 5 of the
Council Decision 95/408/EC of 22 July 1995 on the
conditions for drawing up, for an interim period, provi-
sional lists of third country establishments from which
Member States are authorised to import certain products
