Consolidated evidence including: freedom from disease
affecting poultry; poultry disease surveillance and moni-
toring programmes;
the development of appropriate
contingency plans for poultry diseases; and, the develop-
ment of the veterinary acquis in regard to general veter-
inary legislation and legislation in the poultry sector in
advance of EU accession, has demonstrated that Estonia,
Malta, Latvia and Lithuania have sufficiently well struc-
tured and organised veterinary services regarding the
animal health status for live poultry and ratites.

It is therefore appropriate to add Lithuania, Estonia and
Malta to the list of third countries that are, in principle,
authorised to import
live poultry and hatching eggs
including ratites and eggs as laid down in Commission
Decision 95/233/EC.

Commission Decision 96/482/EC and Commission Deci-
sion 2001/751/EC should also be amended to include
Estonia, Malta, Latvia and Lithuania.

Commission Decision 94/85/EC (1) establishes a list of
third countries from which importation of fresh poultry
meat is authorised.

Commission Decision 94/984/EC (2) lays down animal
the
health conditions and veterinary certificates
importation of fresh poultry meat from third countries.

Commission Decision 97/222/EC (6) establishes a list of
third countries or parts of third countries from which
the importation of meat products is authorised.

Certain Acceding States continue to present an animal
health risk associated with Classical Swine Fever in wild
boar populations. In order to reflect both this but also
the improved animal health status in the Acceding
States, Commission Decision 97/222/EC should be
amended.

It is opportune, where appropriate, to update certain
country names,
ISO codes and regionalisation defini-
tions.

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 95/233/EC are replaced by the
text in Annex I and Annex II to this Decision.

fication for imports of farmed ratite meat.

2000/609/EC (3)

Annex I to Decision 96/482/EC is replaced by the text in
Annex III to this Decision.

Article 2

Because of the improved animal health status of the
Acceding States in relation to poultry, Estonia should be
added to the list of third countries that are, in principle,
authorised to import fresh poultrymeat into the EU as
laid down in Commission Decision 94/85/EC. This will
also allow Estonia to be authorised to import wild feath-
ered game meat as laid down in Commission Decision
94/86/EC (4).

It is also appropriate to include Estonia, Malta and Latvia
in Commission Decision 94/984/EC for the importation
fresh poultrymeat, and in Commission Decision
of
2000/609/EC for the importation of
live ratites and
hatching eggs.

Commission Decision 2000/585/EC (5) lays down animal
and public health conditions and veterinary certifications
for import of wild and farmed game meat and rabbit
meat from third countries. In order to take account of
the improved health status of the Acceding States, Malta
should be added to the list of authorised third countries,
and the existing third country lists and the specific
conditions under which wild and farmed game meat and
rabbit meat can be imported into the EU from other
Acceding States should also be updated.
