standards of that establishment are satisfactory and that
it may therefore be included on the first list of establish-
ments, to be drawn up in accordance with Directive 72/
462/EEC, from which imports of fresh meat may be
authorised.

The measures provided for in this Decision are in accor-
dance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on
