Provisional  lists  of  establishments  in  third  countries  from  which  the  Member  States 
authorise  imports  of  products  prepared  from meat  of bovine animals, swine, equidae 
and sheep and goats have been drawn up by Commission Decision 97/365/EC 2. 

Iceland  has  sent  list  a  of  establishments  producing  meat  products  for  which  the 
competent authority certifies that the establishments comply with Community rules. 

Those establishments should be included in the lists drawn up by Decision 97/365/EC. 

As  on-the-spot  inspections  have  not  yet  been  carried  out,  imports  from  such

Council Directive 97/78/EC 3.
