(3)

Following the deficiencies observed by a Community
inspection to Peru with regard to controls of the sanitary
conditions of the production of bivalve molluscs, the
Commission adopted Decision 2001/338/EC (2) which
suspended the import of bivalve molluscs from or origi-
nating in Peru, with the exception of Pectinidae products
under certain conditions.

Decision 2001/338/EC provides that it is to be reviewed
on the basis of guarantees provided by the Peruvian
competent authorities and on the basis of the results of
a Community inspection on the spot.

A Community inspection visit was carried out in May
2002 and the Peruvian competent authorities have
provided satisfactory guarantees as regards the moni-
toring of the production areas of La Mina/Bahia Lagu-
nilla and Isla Tortuga. The conclusions of the inspection
visit allow to conclude that the guarantees provided by
the Peruvian authorities are satisfactory and that import
of Pectinidae
could be
authorised under the conditions already established by
Decision 2001/338/EC for other aquaculture areas.

from the proposed areas

Decision 2001/338/EC should therefore be amended
accordingly.

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

In paragraph 2 of Article 2 of Decision 2001/338/EC, point (a)
is replaced by the following:

‘(a) Pectinidae harvested in the aquaculture areas of Pucu-
sana (001), Guayanuna (002), La Mina/Bahia Lagunilla
(003) and Isla Tortuga (004), provided that they are
eviscerated.’

This Decision shall apply from 15 July 2003.

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
