Having regard to Council Decision 95/408/EC of 22 June 1995 on the conditions for drawing up, for an
interim period, provisional lists of third country establishments from which Member States are authorised

Provisional lists of establishments in third countries producing animal casings have been drawn up
by Commission Decision 1999/120/EC (3), as last amended by Decision 2002/483/EC (4).

Oman has provided the name of an establishment producing animal casings for which the
competent authorities certify that the establishment is in accordance with the Community rules.

A provisional list of this establishment can thus be drawn up for Oman. Decision 1999/120/EC
should therefore be amended accordingly.

The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing
Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
