(Text with EEA relevance)

(2003/827/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European

The import of pigmeat for human consumption from
Slovenia into the Community should therefore be
authorised subject to certain conditions relating to the
use of catering waste for feeding to swine.

For the purpose of exporting pigmeat, Slovenia has
undertaken to draw up a list of pig holdings subject to
regular veterinary supervisions and appropriate controls
to exclude any use of catering waste for feeding to
swine.

Decision 98/371/EC should 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,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Annexes I and II to Decision 98/371/EC are replaced by the
text in the Annexes to this Decision.

Slovenia has requested authorisation to export pigmeat
to the Community supporting this request with informa-
tion on the health status of swine in Slovenia and the
control of classical swine fever.

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Article 2

In May 2003 the Commission carried out a veterinary
mission to assess the animal health situation in Slovenia.

Done at Brussels, 18 November 2003.

On the basis of the mission report and further informa-
tion provided by Slovenia, the health status of swine in
Slovenia appears to be satisfactory as regards classical
swine fever.

NB: Imports of fresh meat for human consumption are not allowed unless a programme of control of residues in the exporting third country has been approved by the

Commission.

(1) MC: model of certificate to be completed. The letters (A, B, C, D, etc.) appearing on the tables refer to the models of animal health guarantees, as described in Annex III
to Decision 98/371/EC, to be applied for each product and origin in accordance with Article 2 of this Decision. A dash "-" indicates that imports are not authorised.
(2) SG: supplementary guarantees. The letters (a, b, c, d etc.) appearing on the tables are referring to the supplementary guarantees to be provided by the exporting country
as described in Annex IV. These supplementary guarantees must be inserted by the exporting country in the section V of each model of certificate laid down in Annex
III.

(3) Provisional code that does not affect the definitive denomination of the country to be attributed after the conclusion of the negotiations currently taking place in the

United Nations.’
