amending Decision 97/222/EC as regards imports of meat products from Latvia and Poland

COMMISSION DECISION

of 28 February 2002

(notified under document number C(2002) 645)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2002/184/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

(5)

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12
December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems
upon importation of bovine, ovine and caprine animals and
swine, fresh meat or meat products from third countries (1), as
last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1452/2001 (2), and in
particular Article 21a thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

(4)

Commission Decision 97/222/EC (3), as last amended by
Decision 2001/794/EC (4),
lays down the list of third
countries from which Member States authorise the
importation of meat products.

To prevent
the introduction of pathogens liable to
endanger the Community's animal health status different
treatments are required for imported meat products by
Decision 97/222/EC.

The specific conditions for the treatment are dependent
on the species from which meat products are obtained
and on the corresponding animal health situation in the
third country concerned, as indicated in part II of the
Annex to Decision 97/222/EC by a coded reference to
the different treatments provided for in part IV of the
same Annex.

An inspection carried out in March 2001 to Latvia by
the Commission's services has shown that the animal
health status of the poultry sector and its control are
satisfactory. As a result of this mission Latvia shall be
authorised to export meat products of domestic poultry
and of farmed feathered game to the Community.

Poland has been authorised by Commission Decision
2001/849/EC (5) amending Decision 98/371/EC (6) for
the importation of fresh pigmeat into the Community
under certain conditions and consequently the require-
ments for importation of pigmeat products need to be
adjusted.

(6)

(7)

Decision 97/222/EC should therefore be amended
accordingly.

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Part II of the Annex to Decision 97/222/EC is replaced by the
text in the Annex to this Decision.

Article 2

This Decision shall apply for imports of meat products as
certified from 1 March 2002.

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Article 3

Done at Brussels, 28 February 2002.

For the Commission
